It's absolutely strange: nilfs seems to crash during idle times! This time everything seemed to be fine when I returned to my PC after several hours. Astonishingly my pen drive's LED reported heavy activity despite the fact that there was nothing to do. I have a script that detects recently changed files. This script reported that not a single file had been changed during the last hour! After a reboot the system got stuck when trying to pivot_root to the nilfs-root-file-system (no problem mounting it). An analysis showed that several files had been destroyed. The stat-utility showed the file type "weird". ^^ I also mounted some elder checkpoints. They now had defect files, too. In my opinion the cleaner daemon is causing all these problems but - as always - I might be wrong. As to my knowledge there is currently no way to repair a nilfs-file-system? Greetings, Michael
