Hi,

Been struggling about to achieve this on BBB! Can't find too much 
information about it. Any help would be appreciated! I'm surely missing 
something!

- Been doing what i believe would help (does this make sense?)
Installed f2fs-tools, added f2fs modules to initramfs/modules and updated it
[After these steps i could actually create another partition (p3) format it 
as f2fs and mount it/use it]
Edited fstab to mount f2fs partition on boot and it was succesfully mounted 
on boot too.

- Been around the init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh:
Cant really understand the partition behaviour of the script. As i 
understand there are 2 ways of flashing - 1partition setup and 2partition 
setup.
I believe my flashing procedure is doing the 2 partition setup - i see 
mmcblk0p1 (fat) and mmcblk0p2 (ext4). However if i mount the p1 i dont see 
any uEnv in there:
App   Drivers  LICENSE.txt  README.md  System Volume Information 
 nfs-uEnv.txt
Docs  ID.txt   README.htm   START.htm  autorun.inf                scripts

Isn't the uEnv.txt supposed to be in that partition? I just find it at 
/boot/
Is it possible to implement the process of creating rootfs as f2fs in this 
script?


- As i was looking around the scripts i found the 
beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh 
<https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh>
 which 
seems to have a behaviour much closer to what i want (mounts boot partition 
as /boot ) however if i try to run it i get "system unrecognized"



- Can anyone point any direction on how to put the rootfs on f2fs keeping 
the /boot on fat/ext4? 

Thanks,

Regards
Msantosh
