Yes. Userland GC program, nilfs_cleanerd, is included in nilfs-utils. Without nilfs-utils, disk space is not reclaimed. Also, mkfs.nilfs2, nilfs-resize (resize tool), and other utilities are not available. > Can I use it > manually using /sys/class interface or similar? (I suppose this is a > yes...) No. At least nilfs_cleanerd should be installed. > > - are there any already ported versions of the nilfs-utils available > somewhere to blackfin-uClinux?

Please see the README file included in the nilfs-utils tarball. In most cases, it's not difficult to build from the tarball.
