Hello Ryusuke, After the new kernel module (2.0.22) the nilfs partition mounted with no problems. I have encountered no problems since then. Doing a lssu(1) does not show segment 759 to be on the list of used segments any further: lssu -a /dev/sda2 SEGNUM DATE TIME STAT NBLOCKS 0 2011-06-23 10:56:42 -d- 2047 1 2011-06-23 10:56:42 -d- 2048 2 2011-06-23 10:56:42 -d- 2048 3 2011-06-23 10:56:42 -d- 2048 4 2011-06-23 10:56:44 -d- 2048 5 2011-06-23 10:56:46 -d- 2048 7 2011-06-23 10:56:46 -d- 2048 8 2011-06-23 10:56:47 -d- 2048 9 2011-06-23 10:56:47 -d- 2048 10 2011-06-23 10:56:47 -d- 2048 11 2011-06-23 10:56:47 -d- 2048 12 2011-06-23 10:56:47 -d- 2048 13 2011-06-23 10:56:52 -d- 2048 14 2011-06-23 10:56:52 -d- 2048 16 2011-06-23 10:56:52 -d- 2048 17 2011-06-23 10:56:52 -d- 2048 18 2011-06-23 10:56:52 -d- 2048 19 2011-06-23 10:56:53 -d- 2048 20 2011-06-23 10:56:54 ad- 1273 21 ---------- --:--:-- ad- 0 946 2011-06-23 10:52:27 -d- 2048 947 2011-06-23 10:52:28 -d- 2048 948 2011-06-23 10:52:28 -d- 2048 949 2011-06-23 10:52:28 -d- 2048 . . . Though dumpseg 759 does not show anything untoward (I don't think its used any further, correct?): dumpseg /dev/sda2 759 segment: segnum = 759 sequence number = 608068, next segnum = 760 partial segment: blocknr = 1554432, nblocks = 2048 creation time = 2011-06-23 10:48:02 nfinfo = 652 finfo ino = 7984, cno = 13, nblocks = 756, ndatblk = 756 vblocknr = 146359, blkoff = 30686, blocknr = 1554444 vblocknr = 146360, blkoff = 30687, blocknr = 1554445 . . . finfo ino = 16619, cno = 3763620, nblocks = 2, ndatblk = 2 vblocknr = 224656, blkoff = 304, blocknr = 1555200 vblocknr = 224635, blkoff = 305, blocknr = 1555201 finfo ino = 16619, cno = 3763616, nblocks = 1, ndatblk = 1 vblocknr = 224551, blkoff = 303, blocknr = 1555202 . . . One other question I have for anybody on the list or Ryusuke, on a corruption of nilfs on older kernels (pre 2.6.30) should I leave fsck0.nilfs2 to run on the initscripts besides the new 2.0.22 kernel module or is this really redundant? Thanks for any help/comments. All, as far as I can see, this is a pretty cool filesystem.

This may cause future GC failure or filesystem corruption. Could you confirm whether the segment summary is actually broken or not ? This can be done with dumpseg tool: # dumpseg /dev/sda2 759 If it looks actually broken, I recommend you to back up all data as soon as possible.
