Hi,
I'm playing around with the "Flash-Friendly File System" (f2fs), and I've
installed f2fs-tools
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs-tools.git/about/), the
utility package for the f2fs. Building and installing worked nicely, and the mkfs and
fsck tools seem to be functioning properly. The only thing that I'm not sure about is
where to place the installed files in a LFS-compatible way. I'm aware that f2fs is not
part of LFS or BLFS, so I'm addressing this question to the lfs-chat group only.
I've followed the instructions given in the f2fs-tools package closely. I did
not specify a --prefix when running ./configure, which makes it default to
/usr/local (which is okay for a first test). I disabled static libraries and
se-linux support, and enabled shared libraries.
Here's a list of the files that were installed in /usr/local (the default
prefix):
/usr/local/sbin/parse.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/f2fstat
/usr/local/sbin/sg_write_buffer
/usr/local/sbin/mkfs.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/fsck.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/fibmap.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/f2fscrypt
/usr/local/share/man/man8/sload.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/fsck.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/defrag.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/dump.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/mkfs.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/resize.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/f2fscrypt.8
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs_format.la
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs.la
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs_format.so.5.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs.so.6.0.0
/usr/local/include/quota.h
/usr/local/include/f2fs_fs.h
Now I'm wondering where to place these files for a system-wide installation
(and possibly for using f2fs as a root file system in the future):
1. I guess the man-pages can go into /usr/share/man - I don't see any
alternatives to that.
2. I'm not sure about the headers; I'm guessing /usr/include would be
appropriate.
3. The *.la files in /usr/local/lib can be deleted.
4. The shared libraries in /usr/local/lib and the the programs in
/usr/local/sbin: I'm really not sure. Should it be /usr/lib and /usr/sbin or
/lib and /sbin? During the installation of e2fsprogs in LFS, we specified /lib
and /sbin. During the installation of dosfstools in BLFS, we even used
'--prefix=/' in order not to place the files in subdirectories in /usr.
Any thoughts on this?
Greetings,
Hans
