man-page-conversion-20051208 This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely be needed in a few cases). This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams. In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is a more comprehensive conversion. This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining mess.

=head1 NAME
salvage.lock - Prevents multiple simultaneous salvage operations on a partition
=head1 DESCRIPTION
man5-editing-pass-20051213 This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have been combined into one butc_logs man page. For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on installation for the secondary file name. All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional editing and cleanup, and content editing.

The F<salvage.lock> file guarantees that only one Salvager (B<salvager>
process) runs at a time on a file server machine (the single process can
fork multiple subprocesses to salvage multiple partitions in parallel). As
the Salvager initializes, it creates the empty (zero-length) file in the
F</usr/afs/local> directory and invokes the B<flock> system call on it. It
removes the file when it completes the salvage operation. Because the
Salvager must lock the file to run, only one Salvager can run at a time.
