Thanks for that. That seems to be a workaround for the deficiences of the debian installer, and I guess that I might have to do something like that. But I was hoping that the devuan installer might be a bit better. I hope that the devuan installer already has the f2fs modules in its initramfs: despite that howto, I think that it is only the f2fs module itself that is needed. So that would be a simple lightweight change to the devuan version if it is not already there. Then the f2fs-tools,libf2fs-format4 and libf2fs5 packages need to be added to the pool. Is much else needed? I suppose that I might be able to build an installation image like that myself and see what happens. ael _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
