No, the cleaner daemon cannot be started if the device gets mounted
directly since the daemon is invoked by the mount.nilfs2 helper
program which is called through the common mount program.

If you want to invoke cleanerd later, try remount:

 # mount -t nilfs2 -o remount /dev/xxx /mount-point


We can also shutdown the cleanerd manually by "nogc" option.

 # mount -t nilfs2 -o remount,nogc /dev/xxx /mount-point
