I don't understand. There is no 'problem' to workaround. This is by design. You're right, the GC has to reclaim your deleted files before it release the space to the filesystem. If you remove all your checkpoints and wait for your 'protection_period' interval you should see you space reappear. The whole idea or nilfs is that you could do a 'rm -rf *' and be left with no files, but still recover all your files from a checkpoint that happened for you automatically a few seconds ago.
