Aravind Ramesh e01ad31081 f2fs-tools: fix metadata region overlap with zoned block device zones
For a volume using a zoned block device without conventional zones
(e.g. a NVMe ZNS drive), a regular block device must be used to store
metadata so that in-place metadata writes can be executed. The zoned
block device cannot contain any metadata blocks requiring in-place
update (e.g. bitmap blocks). When formatting a volume that contains
host managed zoned block devices, make sure that the conventional device
used to store metadata is large enough to avoid write errors.

F2FS format utility
---------------------

To use the f2fs filesystem, you should format the storage partition
with this utility. Otherwise, you cannot mount f2fs.

Before compilation
------------------

You should install the following packages.
 - libuuid-devel or uuid-dev
 - pkg-config
 - autoconf
 - libtool
 - libselinux1-dev

Initial compilation
-------------------

Before initial compilation, autoconf/automake tools should be run.

 # ./autogen.sh

How to compile
--------------

 # ./configure
 # make
 # make install

How to cross-compile (e.g., for ARM)
------------------------------------

 1. Add the below line into mkfs/Makefile.am:
 mkfs_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

 2. Add the below line into fsck/Makefile.am:
 fsck_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

 3. then, do:
 # LDFLAGS=--static ./configure \
	--host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
 # make

How to run by default
---------------------

 $ mkfs.f2fs -l [LABEL] $DEV

For more mkfs options, see the man page.
