Something like "nilfs_cleanerd > /" in the rc.local script? Thanks for reporting. You can manually start nilfs_cleanerd, or you can do it through mount program. For example, if your boot partition is initially mounted read-only, you can change it to writable mount by a re-mount option: # mount -t nilfs2 -o rw,remount /dev/xxx /mount-dir This remount operation involves invocation of nilfs_cleanerd. > BTW, thanks for the exellent work, the performance is great on my SSD > netbook, much better than ext2 and reiserfs. Interesting. Could you tell me what brand of SSD is used in the netbook? Regards, Ryusuke Konishi
