I have a fedora 21 system that where I mount an nilfs2 file system.
I use a simple /etc/modules-load.d/nilfs.conf file to load the kernel

Creating the modules-load.d snippet should not be necessary, as the kernel
should autoload the kernel module for it when it is first required.
I did not find this to be the case for fedora 21.

Is "nilfs2.ko" installed in your environment?
Try "modinfo nilfs2"
Older fedora needed kernel-modules-extra package. [1]
[1] http://nilfs.sourceforge.net/en/pkg_fedora.html
The file system mounts on boot as it should, but the nilfs-cleanerd
program does not startup. If I umount /nilfs then mount /nilfs the
nilfs-cleanerd program starts as it should to cleanup the checkpoints.
How is that daemon supposed to be started? Is it forked off /bin/mount?
Does systemd use a different mount program at boot?
It uses /bin/mount for mounting normal file systems.
nilfs_cleanerd is invoked through /sbin/mount.nilfs2 helper. [2]
The helper is called from /sbin/mount if it exists.
/sbin/mount.nilfs2 is included in nilfs-utils package.
nilfs_cleanerd is just a user-land process, so it can be
manually invoked if you have root privilege. [3]
# /sbin/nilfs_cleanerd <device> <directory>
But, in this case, you need to kill nilfs_cleanerd
manually before umount. So, I recommend running cleanerd
through mount.nilfs2.
The above explanation may not suit for the recent fedora
since nilfs-utils is not yet tuned to systemd environment.

Is there something else that should be included other than the
nilfs.conf file? I have just started using a system with systemd as
the init so please forgive my ignorance.
I have no idea about nilfs really, and we had no reports about any problems
with it before.
I wanted to look at the performance of nilfs and f2fs.
