There is no fsck.nilfs or similar, so yes. Nilfs2 automatically recovers most of the time, though, so there may be underlying hardware failure. I've been using it extensively in the last 2 years, and never seen a single fs damage which didn't get recovered immediately.

So, you haven't another way that to reformat your partition. There is an experimental branch in nilfs repository this some initial state of fsck utility. But mostly it does nothing, as far as I can judge. Thanks, Vyacheslav Dubeyko.
Where is nilfs2 fsck
Alas, my beautiful fs has become damaged and fsck does nothing, I think it's a nop. What is wrong, something in the btree, the original message was in syslog but it seems to have rotated, I could tell you but I'd have to cause my kernel to remount my home dir RO, which is not acceptable at this time. I'm not interested in the files that can't be accessed, I was trying to delete them when I found the error so even an experimental fsck would do. I do have nilfs2-utils installed but I can't find anything useful in there. Do I need to backup and reformat the partition?
