Topic: F2FS format shows error flag, but seems to work correctly.

Running Gparted Live 0.20.0.2

Three partitions on 64gb MicroSd: 12gb, 46gb, 1gb, formatted Fat32, F2Fs, Ext4 respectively.

Gparted shows error flag on F2FS format, others ok.  Shows F2FS, Does NOT show partition  size.

Can change 2nd partition to Ext4 or Fat32 without error flag, and they show partition size.

Only happens on F2Fs fomat.

MicroSD appears to work correctly, so suspect Gparted reading wrong.

Re: F2FS format shows error flag, but seems to work correctly.

Thank you Immohr for your interest in GParted.

This behaviour is expected because the current f2fs code does not contain logic to determine the used and unused values.  Hence GParted is warning that it is unable to read the file system (usage) and some operations may be unavailable.

Do you know how to retrieve the number of used or unused sectors in an f2fs file system when the file system is not mounted?
