Hi,

I've been using nilfs (built as a module for linux kernel version 2.6.28 on an 
arm device) for the last few days, however I started to run out of disk space, 
and hence noticed that nilfs_cleanerd wasn't running.

I tried running it manually and everytime I tried I got this error in dmesg:

 nilfs_ioctl_move_inode_block: conflicting data buffer: ino=62127, cno=784, 
offset=1115, blocknr=739299, vblocknr=477050
 NILFS: GC failed during preparation: cannot read source blocks: err=-17

and nilfs_cleanerd stopped running.

As the partition was rapidly approaching full, it meant the partition was 
unusable...

Is this a known error that can be dealt with?

For now I've just made a backup of the partition and created a new nilfs 
partition to copy all its data into to try and sidestep the issue.
 

This issue was with nilfs(-utils) version 2.0.20 built locally only a few days 
ago.
Its running on a Nokia n900 if that makes a difference.

This issue also occurred if I tried to run nilfs_cleanerd on my x86 laptop on 
the same partition as well.

Is this a known issue at all? (I tried searching for it but didn't find
anything useful)

And is there anything I can try and do to avoid it in the future? Or to help 
deal with it?

Cheers

Bryce
