    The funny stuff is that FTL on a flash devices also tries to compress data; the specs of professional drives often show TBW & speed as a function of data compressability. Hence this patch seems strange for F2FS, which basic premise is to make FTL job of faking block storage as easy as possible.

    Future solutions will probably drop this masquerade entirely at some point.

      F2FS is better suited on cheap FTLs. Also compression is opt-in.

        Storage in android devices doesn't compress files.
