F2fs, which stands for flash-friendly file system, has a logstructuur and would be thanks to various optimizations better performance in the reading and writing of data to, for example, sd-cards, ssd’s and flashmodules. Also opschoonalgoritmes in the code included.
F2fs can the Linux kernel be included and would, according to Samsung, in practice, are easy to implement or adapt. Further, it is the f2fs-tool on SourceForge available, which is intended to f2fs partitions to create and to be able to mount.
Samsungs new file system could possibly be applied in Android devices, that mostly run from flash storage. Or f2fs will be a success, it remains to be seen; Samsung tried previously are robust file system to deploy on the Galaxy S smartphone, but the performance of rfs turned out to be poor.
