I just recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 and custom built the 2.6.30.2 kernel with the nilfs options outlined on the site.

I am able to mount the partition with no errors.

I do an error as follows:

Jul 22 13:09:53 hostname nilfs_cleanerd[9470]: start
Jul 22 13:09:53 hostname nilfs_cleanerd[9470]: cannot get segment usage 
stat: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Jul 22 13:09:53 hostname nilfs_cleanerd[9470]: shutdown

...

Jul 22 13:13:12 hostname nilfs_cleanerd[9538]: start

Jul 22 13:14:51 hostname nilfs_cleanerd[9547]: shutdown

Also when I try to list the checkpoints, I get the following error:

lscp: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Please advise.

Thanks,

Hi David,

I've had the same problem on Ubuntu 9.04.
It seems that an very old version (2.0.6 ???) of nilfs-tools is installed by package manager and no update available through Ubuntu 9.04 update channel.

Downloading, compiling and installing latest version of nilfs-tools will fix this issue.

Nilfs has once changed ioctl interface (ABI) to clean up architecture dependency problems found in the review process of mainline merge.

The nilfs2-tools included in Ubuntu Jaunty is older than that.

Please download the latest util package (nilfs-utils-2.0.14) from

http://www.nilfs.org/en/download.html

and use it instead.

The newer nilfs2-tools is available on karmic, but in either case it seems to be less frequently updated than Debian.
