Hi Stephan! Apologies for the delayed response - really busy festive period here... :-/

Would love to hear some feedback! Awesome work! I've had a quick skim through, and it *looks* OK but I'm not an f2fs user and don't have any eMMC/SD hardware available at the moment so I can't readily test it here either. To test, you'll want to build d-i and add your new module. See https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build for instructions there. The easiest option is then to build a monolithic installer initramfs. Boot that and run through the installer. Make sure your new module is included and check it works as you'd expect: * is it listed in the available filesystems when you create a new partition/filesystem? * can you create a new filesystem using f2fs? * does it show up in the list of filesystems aferwards? * do you get the right entries in fstab after the installation? * do you get the appropriate fs tools packages installed automatically by the installer if you have used f2fs? etc... :-) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
