[Filesystems-devel] Bug#970176: Please move f2fs-tools to version 1.14 from upstream; 1.11 does NOT support compression

[Charles Cropper]

Package: f2fs-tools
Version: 1.11.0-1.1

I installed f2fs on a 4TB SSD. This SSD was for testing purposes to manipulate 
some versioned backups.

When I attempted to make a new f2fs file system with compression enabled using 
the 'options' flag <mkfs.f2fs ... -O compression ...> the program says invalid 
option. All of the upstream documentation states that this option IS 
supported.

I am using Debian Buster, kernel 5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
5.7.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-07-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Thank you for your work.
