Please remount the partition with -f option after making /etc/mtab writable. nilfs_cleanerd not started This is now real problem as most (all?) distributions are moving or moved toward having /etc/mtab being symlink: Fedora already did this. Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494001 Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477498 This was already discussed http://marc.info/?l=linux-nilfs&m=130832696129454&w=2 and it was planed for 2.1 but this is still an issue with 2.1.5. Do you have any idea when this change will happen?
