The disk format compatibility is not broken for x86. You can try the latest nilfs2-utils and nilfs2-module. Since the "error searching super root" problem is not a bug of mount procedure but a result of incomplete disk write, it will occur for the nilfs2 drive in question. Even after you create a new partition with mkfs.nilfs2, it could be reproduced if the device or (or the device driver) still has the problem on sync write. So please do not put valuable data on the nilfs2 partition. I'd like to know the root cause of the problem and take measures if I can do something on file system layer. I appreciate if you retry using nilfs on the device.
