How should I convert ext4 to F2FS for main system usage?
Below is what I've tried, but any solution is welcome.
I'm doing this in VirtualBox-6.0 (static size VHDs) before doing it live which may be a factor.
I've edited an ISO with cubic, removing packages and running apt install f2fs* -f -y so I'd be able to format partitions into F2FS from live CD. Kubuntu, the OS I want to use, uses Ubiquity to install the system which isn't able to read F2FS. A solution could be to find an installer that can read F2FS but I don't know any.
So what I've done instead is made a 512mb EFI boot partition and two separate ext4 partitions for root and home, intending to convert home to F2FS. The root/home separation was because I believe less things would break.
I installed as ext4, confirmed system running, then used Clonezilla to copy home to a separate partition. I then rebooted into a live CD to format the home partition to F2FS then copy over the folders located in home.
Now the problem: it shows the splash but systemctl --failed | grep not-found outputs:
tmp.mount
auditd.service
connman.service
console-screen.service
-screen.service
kbd.service
systemd-sysusers.service
systemd-update-done.service
update-done.service
systemd-vconsole-setup.service
-vconsole-setup.service
all.target
syslog.target
And notable output from journalctl -xb is MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list.
I went back into live CD, chrooted and updated. Errors were encountered while processing:
ca-certificates-java
grub-pc
openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64
grub-efi-amd-signed
openjdk-11-jre:amd64
shim-sgned
friendly-recovery
linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic
Probably because:
update-initramfs: Generating (the kernel)
Warning:couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring
Attempting install returns E: Internal Error. No file name for [the packages I checked]. I am assuming F2FS is only supported for data storage with this line
f2fs
