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.

=head1 NAME
FORCESALVAGE - Forces salvage of entire partition
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The F<FORCESALVAGE> file, if present on an AFS server partition (that is,
in a F</vicep> directory), signals that the Salvager must salvage the
entire partition. The AFS-modified version of the B<fsck> program creates
the empty (zero-length) file when it discovers corruption on the
partition. The Salvager removes the file when it completes the salvage
operation.
When the File Server detects the presence of the file on a partition on
which it is attaching volumes, it stops, detaches any volumes that are
already attached, and exits after recording a message in the
F</usr/afs/logs/FileLog> file. The Bos Server then invokes the Salvager to
salvage the partition.
