Hi,
I'm playing around with the "Flash-Friendly File System" (f2fs), and
I've installed f2fs-tools
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs-tools.git/about/),
the utility package for the f2fs. Building and installing worked
nicely, and the mkfs and fsck tools seem to be functioning properly.
The only thing that I'm not sure about is where to place the installed
files in a LFS-compatible way. I'm aware that f2fs is not part of LFS
or BLFS, so I'm addressing this question to the lfs-chat group only.
I've followed the instructions given in the f2fs-tools package
closely. I did not specify a --prefix when running ./configure, which
makes it default to /usr/local (which is okay for a first test). I
disabled static libraries and se-linux support, and enabled shared
libraries.
Here's a list of the files that were installed in /usr/local (the
default prefix):
/usr/local/sbin/parse.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/f2fstat
/usr/local/sbin/sg_write_buffer
/usr/local/sbin/mkfs.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/fsck.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/fibmap.f2fs
/usr/local/sbin/f2fscrypt
/usr/local/share/man/man8/sload.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/fsck.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/defrag.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/dump.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/mkfs.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/resize.f2fs.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8/f2fscrypt.8
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs_format.la
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs.la
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs_format.so.5.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libf2fs.so.6.0.0
/usr/local/include/quota.h
/usr/local/include/f2fs_fs.h
Now I'm wondering where to place these files for a system-wide
installation (and possibly for using f2fs as a root file system in the
future):
1. I guess the man-pages can go into /usr/share/man - I don't see any
alternatives to that.
2. I'm not sure about the headers; I'm guessing /usr/include would be
appropriate.
3. The *.la files in /usr/local/lib can be deleted.
4. The shared libraries in /usr/local/lib and the the programs in
/usr/local/sbin: I'm really not sure. Should it be /usr/lib and
/usr/sbin or /lib and /sbin? During the installation of e2fsprogs in
LFS, we specified /lib and /sbin. During the installation of
dosfstools in BLFS, we even used '--prefix=/' in order not to place
the files in subdirectories in /usr.
Any thoughts on this?
Greetings,
Hans
Greetings!
Rebuilding for a prefix of /usr would be simpler, but here's what you
would want to do:
1 - move man pages to /usr/share/man
2 - for headers, /usr/include
3 - libraries: Move to /lib, create a symlink:
ln -sv ../../lib/libf2fs.so.6.0.0 /usr/lib/libf2fs.so
ln -sv ../../lib/libf2fs_format.so.5.0.0 /usr/lib/libf2fs_format.so
4 - for binaries, move to /sbin
5 - as you mentioned, remove the *.la files
This is the best approach IMO
