    Note that, it requires "f2fs: return correct errno in f2fs_gc".
    
    This adds a lightweight non-persistent snapshotting scheme to f2fs.
    
    To use, mount with the option checkpoint=disable, and to return to
    normal operation, remount with checkpoint=enable. If the filesystem
    is shut down before remounting with checkpoint=enable, it will revert
    back to its apparent state when it was first mounted with
    checkpoint=disable. This is useful for situations where you wish to be
    able to roll back the state of the disk in case of some critical
    failure.
