Thank you both for the replies.

IIUC, tune.f2fs is not there yet. I saw a submission, but I do not see 
it as accepted, right?

Having this in tune.f2fs would be fine (assuming the assertion is 
replaced with some meaningful hint message), but wouldn't it be more 
convenient for an ordinary user to have implemented something like:

# mount -t f2fs /dev/sdb -o nextdev=/dev/sdc /mnt/fs

Hm?
