Instead of formatting the file system inside s3backer using ext4,
reiserfs, btrfs, ... has anyone tried using f2fs, the flash friendly
file system. It seems to me, at first glance, that this combination
might work quite well, as the effort by f2fs to adapt to the native
block size of a flash drive (which might be a megabyte or two), and to
minimize the number of such blocks written, might work well when it's an
"S3" based drive, rather than a "Flash" based drive.
(I earlier posted this same question at
https://github.com/archiecobbs/s3backer/issues/75#issuecomment-281120963, and Archie replied, saying that he hadn't heard of anyone doing this, but that I might post this question here as well.)
