I use a script to make NILFS2 snapshots. And sometimes, nilfs2 complains leading the system to an unusable state (since nilfs2 is remouted read-only by default). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 0. Have a nilfs2 filesystem (here: LVM /dev/rest/home into /home) 1. Use script rotatess (nilfs2 automounter snapshots rotations) here: https://vigneras@bitbucket.org/vigneras/rotatess using the following configuration: */5 * * * * root /<installation_path>/rotatess /dev/mapper/rest-home /mnt/snapshots >> /var/log/rotatess.log 2>&1 2.Sometimes, nilfs2 just fail Actual Results: nilfs crashes, remounting the fs read-only... The system then becomes unusable. See the log file extract in attachment. I upgraded nilfs-utils the 25th after the first error: $ genlop -lu |grep nilfs Mon Nov 25 14:53:38 2013 >>> sys-fs/nilfs-utils-2.1.5-r1 Fri Apr 25 10:22:35 2014 <<< sys-fs/nilfs-utils-2.1.5-r1 Fri Apr 25 10:22:37 2014 >>> sys-fs/nilfs-utils-2.1.6

This couldn't possibly be a Gentoo Linux problem. We just distribute kernels and tools that support using NILFS on Gentoo Linux.
Of course, but can't you forward this bug to the appropriate upstream list? (kernel or nilfs2).

You can follow up with the upstream lists and/or Bugzilla, they'll have more questions for you; for instance, it is currently unknown what the crash is and therefore they might ask you to capture a trace of the crash.
