"F2FS is a new file system carefully designed for the NAND flash memory-based storage devices. We chose a log structure file system approach, but we tried to adapt it to the new form of storage. Also we remedy some known issues of the very old log structured file system, such as snowball effect of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead."

... LogFS, UBIFS, and YAFFS.
Was there really a need to invent yet another wheel?
Been a while since I looked into flash-specific filesystems, so I may remember wrongly that the three above are also Flash FS's.
Is this another case of Not Invented Here, or does F2FS have merit?
