Description

General Question,
Why is Lto4 not supported? Is there some hardware limitation or something?
Just curious, I do have some experience with C and C++ and wondering if its just a "We haven't gotten around to it" kinda thing, or something in the device prevents it.

Figured Id ask before diving headlong into a new project.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the LTFS reference implementation and the LTO-4 hardware and specification constraints; done would be a clear explanation of whether support is blocked by hardware or by missing implementation work.
