From the bug:

> mount.nilfs2: cannot modify /etc/mtab.

Any suggestions? (/etc/mtab is now a symlink to /proc/partitions)
Thanks,
-Eric

(/etc/mtab is now a symlink to /proc/partitions) Thank you for letting me know this. The problem is mount/umount helper programs of nilfs2 are using a few userspace mount options like "uhelper=" option; these userspace options ("gcpid=", "pp=", and "nogc" options in the case of nilfs) required modifying mtab. I will consider eliminating them before upcoming nilfs-utils-2.1 release.
