/proc/mounts:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0                                                                                                        
/dev/root / nilfs2 rw,noatime 0 0

The only thing I see in syslog related to nilfs:
Jul 26 12:23:50 gentoo klogd: VFS: Mounted root (nilfs2 filesystem) readonly on device 8:2.
Jul 26 12:31:44 gentoo nilfs_cleanerd[2690]: start
Jul 26 12:31:44 gentoo nilfs_cleanerd[2690]: override protection period to 0

Note that the nilfs_cleanerd message is from when I started it manually (with -p0).

Using lscp, I see no snapshots, but several thousand checkpoints.  I tried deleting the checkpoints with rmcp, but that didn't free up any space.  The disk is still slowly filling.

Oh, I thought the problem would be fixed with nilfs-utils-2.0.14.

How does the relevant line in /proc/mounts look like?

I think you can find the error which terminated cleanerd in
/var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages.

Is is the same thing if you shorten the protection period or release
snapshots ?

Thanks,
