Theoretically, it should work just as well as savefile, but I'm not aware of anyone having tested it yet.
Good luck.

cool, that's what i was hoping to hear, and i think i'll try out booting from disc to a savefolder on a different machine as well.

@Puppus_Dogfellow: my latest f2fs-installer (posted somewhere here
) supports hacking the initrd to run in pupmode = 12 so it writes directly to the save - this is what f2fs is all about. Its wear levelling prolongs the life of the drive (theoretically) so frugal writes are not a problem. I'll get back later (tomorrow maybe) about where the latest is posted, or maybe you were a part of that thread?
i'm not sure i've got your latest--last time i was involved in an f2fs thread i was recommending outdated versions. that the thread you remember?
anyway, i've seen with quirky tahr that f2fs works remarkably well with flash, but those writes to that usb 2.0 drive are something i'd rather be in control of in the end. the added speed of the new file system and the greater manageability (how i see it, anyway) of the savefolder would really make the upgrade from 5.5 seem like one. i'm used to the idiotproofing of disabled autosaves and the speed of running purely in ram except for when i'm leaving the room, etc. i want to avoid having an upgrade that feels at any time relatively slow or delicate.
does the devx have to be renamed to be usable with 5.7.2? is there going to be some trickery needed to gain control of the save intervals in a savefile installation?
