Mounting external f2fs volumes? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an f2fs volume I want to mount. The problem is, every time I look up "Android" and "f2fs", what comes up is internal storage. I'd rather stick to ext4 storage for the time being. What I want is to mount my f2fs volume just like my Linux laptop can without any issues. I know if I want things to work with windows I need exfat, but I have no interest in windows functionality. I just need my storage drive to work on Linux based systems. Windows doesn't interest me.
I'm on a rooted OnePlus 7 Pro and am willing to flash. Oxygen OS 10 OB5. (latest beta)
If mounting f2fs volumes is impossible on Android - a system based on the Linux kernel, I'd love to know why is that so. I was considering building a kernel from source, as I've written a game in C and believe I'm experienced enough to build a kernel at this point.
Thanks in advance!

Its possible to mount f2fs/ext4 microSD / usb-otg on android.
i use f2fs since 2017 for microSD on Android.
u need to be rooted, and, a your need to have kernel f2fs-support.
if you can format /data as f2fs and mount it.
then, youtl already have f2fs support.
else you can use any custom kernel with f2fs support.
as (on 2018) for my asus x00td device, i requested @Sakhtlonda69 to add f2fs support in his custom kernel build.
(and, he did it!)
----
these are few values , which u need to know, to execute the below commands
# YOUR_DEVICE_NUMBER = the exact partition which is your memory card's 1st partition.
# If you have a device with UFS storage (not eMMC), then, microSD will be most likely at "mmcblk0p1"
# If you have a device with eMMC Storage (not UFS), then, microSD will be most likely at "mmcblk1p1"
# If you still can't understand what I'm saying,
# Make sure your memory card is inserted,
# then,
# just go to /dev/block from any rooted file manager
# search "mmcblk1" there.
# if it only shows these 2 files: mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1
# then, "YOUR_DEVICE_NUMBER" is "mmcblk1p1"
but, if you can't find anything with "mmcblk1"
#then, search "mmcblk0" there.
# if it only shows these 2 files: mmcblk0 and mmcblk0p1
# then, "YOUR_DEVICE_NUMBER" is "mmcblk0p1"
so, "YOUR_DEVICE_NUMBER" is actually either "mmcblk0p1" or "mmcblk1p1"
WARNING: (If you format any wrong system's internal storages partition, your device will most likely be bricked!)
Understand?

#---Format your microSD part with f2fs---#
simply unmount the memory card from Settings > Storage.
then, launch Terminal Emulator/ Termux App
(make sure you have root)
enter below 2 commands one by one:
su
make_f2fs -f /dev/block/YOUR_DEVICE_NUMBER
#---Formated successfully---#
-----
Now reboot your device
After reboot your device show a notification that your Memory Card is corrupted!
(because most of the android system can't mount anything except fat/exFAT for Memory Card - it's normal)
---
to mount the microSD (Memory Card),
Launch Terminal/Termux: and, enter below lines one by one:
(YOU NEED TO ENTER THESE LINES EVERY TIME AFTER YOU REBOOT YOUR DEVICE)
su
mkdir -p /mnt/extsd
mkdir -p /sdcard/_MemoryCard_
# Mount f2fs-microSD at /mnt/extsd
mount -t f2fs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noexec,discard,fsync_mode=nobarrier /dev/block/platform/soc/*.sdhci/mmcblk*p1 /mnt/extsd
# Bind using sdcardfs f2fs-microSD from /mnt/extsd to /sdcard/_MemoryCard_
mount -t sdcardfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noexec,fsuid=1023,fsgid=1023,gid=9997,mask=2 /mnt/microSD /mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0/_MemoryCard_
----
Now,
microSD is mounted under Internal Storage's _MemoryCard_ folder.
---------
(Extra things)
If you dont want to show Memory Card Corrupted (annoying) Notification on each boot,
simply edit your /vendor/etc/fstab* file.
(it will be under : /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom or /vendor/etc/fstab.default or /vendor/etc/fstab.emmc)
(if you have more that one fstab, edit all)
Edit fstab* :
Find the line contains
"/devices/platform/soc/ ......... /mmc_host*"
add a "#" at the starting of that line (without quotation marks)
and save that file.
Reboot your device.
Now, It won't show any corruption device notification.
