Hi,

I just tried to benchmark nilfs and then the file system and benchmark
process got stuck. dmesg output is attached. The problems start with

nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 0 must be clean
nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 1 must be clean
NILFS warning (device sdb1): nilfs_clean_segments: segment construction
failed. (err=-28)

I'm using

Kernel 2.6.33 (Debian 2.6.33-1~experimental.2)
nilfs-tools 2.0.16 (Debian 2.0.16-1)

The processes are unkillable and the file system cannot be unmounted.
The machine will be reset when I get back in physical range on Wednesday
and the stuck file system will be removed. If there is anything I can do
remotely to help you debug that problem before the file system is gone,
let me know.

The file system got into this state after writing several times the
capacity of the file system, creating a single file until the file
cannot be extended any more.

# df -k /dev/sdb1
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1            136716284 136372220         0 100% /stxxl/sdb

Can't do a ls on the file systen, gets stuck as well.


Please keep me CCed, I'm not on the list.
