Kernel 3.8 with F2FS for the PI

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'I')nstalling alarm on f2fs partition will be tricky. I left the details out on purpose.
you need f2fs tools from aur https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/f2fs-tools

Converted my sd card to f2fs and it works fine. Coupled with BFQ it seems a little (noticably) snappier in lxde. F2FS should help with sd card wear as well.

i fully agree.
RPi works smarter with f2fs and alsa (important for one of my tasks) is working now fine like on x86.

If anyone is interested I have a minimalistic monolithic kernel builded.
It is extreamly stripped down.

I can post instruction on how to cross compile a kernel for RPI on arch

NO gpio.
NO support for extenal modules
