Created attachment 351806 [details, diff] adds new filesystem identifiers Currently the stable versions of coreutils do not support the filesystems mentioned in the subject of this bug - this has however been patched upstream and consists purely of adding the filesystem identifiers to the source code. I have attached a patch that comprises those changes. For reference, the upstream commit hashes for coreutils are e414ff4c4c3fe029a9702c9909bf4eccbef68c21 and 4c49dc823ff7da589ae58d8d8313d38a75fc8f64
(In reply to Olipro from comment #0) these are all fairly esoteric filesystems. since support is already in upstream coreutils, we'll see it the next time they release a new version. unless you actually need this support, i'm inclined to wait for that instead.

I didn't open this up for shits and giggles, I use Gentoo on a Raspberry Pi with F2FS, so yeah, I need it.

Last I checked we're volunteers for this project and not your employees so let's ease back on the attitude throttle a bit. No one is forcing you to use F2FS either. So really the best suggestion I've got is to wait until the next release like Mike said, or make your own overlay and toss in any patches or versions of any packages you want.

I did not at any point claim you were, nor was it implied. However, I will admit to being irritated at having the bug *closed* straight after being asked if I need it. In any case, I'm surprised that this requires a debate to get it applied - the patch is trivial, F2FS is a filesystem targeted at flash storage, it's not just something that a RasPi user will choose to use. I attached a patch, I know how to apply this on my own tree just fine, and indeed, have done so. I opened this bug with the hopes that, since it's relatively trivial, it could be provided for the general benefit of others. Please reconsider making an ebuild with this.
