these solid state specific file systems are not intended for use on the types of ssds you buy to plug into a SATA port, those are already heavily abstracted by their firmware, which handles stuff like wear leveling and block deallocation.
These types of filesystems are intended for when the kernel has access to the raw addressing of the flash chips themselves, such as on some cellphones and embedded devices. They handle stuff like wear leveling, and deleting blocks.
- ibotty 14y agoi think you are confusing f2fs and nilfs which work with regular block devices (including ssds, but also cheaper flash (and also poorly regular harddrives)) with jffs(2) which will only work on raw flash.
