f2fs (Flash Friendly File System) Support

[ashb]

As the title suggests: any plan to support f2fs, specifically for an rpi2 image?

From a cursory look: It looks like build an f2fs image here is easy but we might need a more recent version of guestfs than is in debian/ubuntu to support f2fs on guestfish.

Currently there are no plans to support it but feel free to provide a PR.
All howtos for fixing fs errors on RPIs are for EXT4. With this in mind another filesystem will make the use of our image more complicated.

Got it working and booting with very few changes needed (a change to mkfs in here, and some changes to fstab and cmdline.txt in image-builder-rpi), but ran into an issue: the f2fs-tools in 16.04 Jessie doesn't have a 'resize.f2fs' -- that command is only available in Zesty Debian Testing :/

Okay bigger problem: resize.f2fs (from testing) can't resize a mounted filesystem. I think that pretty much scuppers it for Hypriot images as they are built.

I don't have time or desire to do this as it's a bigger bit of work then first thought. I'll close this issue.
