nilfs_cleanerd for the root filesystem

Hello,

It seems mounting NILFS as root filesystem does not cause nilfs_cleanerd to be started. I'm not using initrd; just indicated the root partition in kernel's command line, so it gets mounted directly.

Is there a way to fix that?

Hi,

No, the cleaner daemon cannot be started if the device gets mounted directly since the daemon is invoked by the mount.nilfs2 helper program which is called through the common mount program.

If you want to invoke cleanerd later, try remount:

 # mount -t nilfs2 -o remount /dev/xxx /mount-point

We can also shutdown the cleanerd manually by "nogc" option.

 # mount -t nilfs2 -o remount,nogc /dev/xxx /mount-point

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
