After upgrading from the 3.5.0 to the 3.7.2 kernel I cannot get nilfs_cleanerd to start. Trying to start it causes the following lines to be appended to the system log. Jan 20 16:36:07 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2584]: start Jan 20 16:36:07 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2584]: cannot open nilfs on (null): No such file or directory Jan 20 16:36:07 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2584]: cannot create cleanerd on (null): No such file or directory Jan 20 16:36:07 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2584]: shutdown My root file system is nilfs2. Cleanerd has never started on mount. I worked around this by creating a local.d script that starts it. Then this stopped working. I was able to get it going again by modifying my script to create a /dev/root symlink. Now I cannot get it to start at all. Giving it the root device explicitly doesn't work either # nilfs_cleanerd /dev/sda2 Jan 20 16:41:19 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2648]: start Jan 20 16:41:19 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2648]: cannot open nilfs on /dev/sda2: No such file or directory Jan 20 16:41:19 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2648]: cannot create cleanerd on /dev/sda2: No such file or directory Jan 20 16:41:19 gigasys nilfs_cleanerd[2648]: shutdown # ls -l /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Jan 20 16:18 /dev/sda2 mount -t nilfs2 -o remount /dev/sda2 / produces an identical set of messages. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
