I am trying to mount an F2FS file system on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine running Linux version 4.4.178+. When I try to run:



sudo mkfs.f2fs /dev/sda2


the system returns:



F2Fs-tools: mkfs.f2fs Ver: 1.12.0 (2018-11-12)

Info: Disable heap-based policy
Info: Debug level = 0
Info: Label = FirstTry
Info: Trim is enabled
Info: [/dev/sda2] Disk Model: VBPX HARDDISK
Info: Segments per section = 1
Info: Sections per zone = 1
Info: sector size = 512
Info: total sectors = 2 (0 MB)
Info: zone aligned segment0 blkaddr: 512
Error: Device size is not sufficient for F2FS volume
Error: Failed to prepare a super block!!!
Error: Could not format the device!!!


I believe it has to do with the number of total sectors being only 2, but cannot figure out how to change that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
