SALVAGE.fs - Triggers salvaging of AFS server partitions

|
|
|
The F<SALVAGE.fs> file, if present in a file server machine's
|
|
|
|
F</usr/afs/local> directory, indicates to the Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
|
|
|
|
(B<bosserver> process) that it must invoke the Salvager (B<salvager>
|
|
|
|
process) during recovery from a failure of the File Server (B<fileserver>
|
|
|
|
process).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The BOS Server creates the zero-length file each time it starts or
|
|
|
|
restarts the C<fs> process. When the File Server exits normally (for
|
|
|
|
example, in response to the B<bos shutdown> or B<bos stop> command), the
|
|
|
|
BOS Server removes the file. However, if the File Server exits
|
|
|
|
unexpectedly, the file remains in the F</usr/afs/local> directory as a
|
|
|
|
signal that the BOS Server must invoke the Salvager process to repair any
|
|
|
|
file system inconsistencies possibly introduced during the failure, before
|
|
|
|
restarting the File Server and Volume Server processes.

|
|
Do not create or remove this file. To invoke the Salvager process
|
|
|
|
directly, use the B<bos salvage> command or log onto the file server
|

|
|
|
machine as the local superuser C<root> and issue the B<salvager> command.
