Ok, thanks that makes sense.  Well now that nilfs_cleanerd has been running for 
about 9 hours, it is actually starting to free up some space!  It's freed up 
about 1GB so far of the 12GB that should be freed.  So, I suppose it is working 
correctly, just rather slowly.  So, the only real problem is that it is not 
being started on mount, but for now I can just manually start it.

Unfortunately that's the way rmcp works for now.
rmcp only tells the cleanerd the checkpoint is ready to remove even
in the protection period and nilfs_cleanerd is the only process that
collect garage from the storage and create free space for new logs.

thanks,
