You're right; nilfs_cleanered wasn't running.  I've = tried rebooting and it still isn't automatically starting.  I'm runnin= g 2.6.31-rc4 and nilfs-utils-2.0.14.  The following is the relevant fs= tab line:

/dev/sda2        &= nbsp;      /      &n= bsp;        nilfs2   &nbs= p;      rw,noatime     &n= bsp;        0 0
 
I manually started nilfs_cleanered and have been running it for about an= hour.  Conky shows disk read/writes of 1MiB  every 2 seconds or so, but I don't see any space being freed up.  In fact, df still repo= rts a gradual filling of the disk.

T= his sounds like the nilfs_cleanerd is not running, could you check if

Depending on the version of NILFS you're using, you may be in tr= ouble,
else, just starting nilfs_cleanerd manually should be able to free up
all the= space.
