To be more precise, here's what works and what don't, in detail
(and after a fresh install of Arch):

The USB memory is xfs formatted and works fine:

[root@alarmpi /]# lsblk -f
NAME        FSTYPE LABEL UUID                                 MOUNTPOINT
sda
`-sda1      xfs          ff17dda9-fcae-42e7-a438-9087de58902e
mmcblk0
|-mmcblk0p1 vfat         EA5B-4477                            /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 ext4         c4ddc925-15ab-4465-ac78-967a845e98d5 /


Now, it's nilfs2 formatted:

[root@alarmpi /]# mkfs.nilfs2 /dev/sda1
WARNING: Device /dev/sda1 appears to contain an existing xfs superblock.
WARNING: All data will be lost after format!

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO FORMAT DEVICE /dev/sda1?

Continue? [y/N] y
mkfs.nilfs2 (nilfs-utils 2.2.3)
Start writing file system initial data to the device
        Blocksize:4096  Device:/dev/sda1  Device Size:32026656768
File system initialization succeeded !!

After that, all seems to be ok. lsblk shown no double uuid:

[root@alarmpi /]# lsblk -f
NAME        FSTYPE LABEL UUID                                 MOUNTPOINT
sda
`-sda1      nilfs2       98da384c-392e-4551-98c0-d076524f5d8b
mmcblk0
|-mmcblk0p1 vfat         EA5B-4477                            /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 ext4         c4ddc925-15ab-4465-ac78-967a845e98d5 /
[root@alarmpi /]#


Now the USB drive gets manually mounted, all is ok:

[root@alarmpi /]# mount /dev/sda1 /USBDRIVE
[root@alarmpi /]# lsblk -f
NAME        FSTYPE LABEL UUID                                 MOUNTPOINT
sda
`-sda1      nilfs2       98da384c-392e-4551-98c0-d076524f5d8b /USBDRIVE
mmcblk0
|-mmcblk0p1 vfat         EA5B-4477                            /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 ext4         c4ddc925-15ab-4465-ac78-967a845e98d5 /


Now, the newly formatted drive is registered in fstab to be
automatically mounted on boot:

UUID=ff17dda9-fcae-42e7-a438-9087de58902e       /USBDRIVE       nilfs2  
defaults        0       0

After rebooting the machine, nothing is mounted, and lsblk shows the
double uuid:

[root@alarmpi /]# lsblk -f
NAME        FSTYPE LABEL UUID                                 MOUNTPOINT
sda                      98da384c-392e-4551-98c0-d076524f5d8b
`-sda1      nilfs2       98da384c-392e-4551-98c0-d076524f5d8b
mmcblk0
|-mmcblk0p1 vfat         EA5B-4477                            /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 ext4         c4ddc925-15ab-4465-ac78-967a845e98d5 /

The logs say:

Jun 08 11:23:47 alarmpi mount: mount.nilfs2: Error while mounting /dev/sda on 
/USBDRIVE: Device or resource busy
Jun 08 11:23:47 alarmpi systemd: Failed to mount /USBDRIVE.

Here it becomes clear what happens: the system wants to mount /dev/sda
rather than /dev/sda1, and thus fails.

Out of curiosity, I tried both xfs, ext4 and btrfs, and all of them
just work.

I've tested the same steps as you wrote above (first created an
xfs partition, overrode it with a nilfs2 partition, wrote a similar
entry to fstab, and reboot),  but didn't reproduce the issue.

On my CentOS 7 environment, lsblk and default mount are perfectly
working.

So, it may be a version dependent issue of util-linux.
I will try to reproduce and nallow down the issue with newer util-linux
packages.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
