<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para>The <replaceable>VolserLog</replaceable> file records a trace of Volume Server (<emphasis role="bold">volserver</emphasis>
|
|
process) operations on the local machine and describes any error
|
|
conditions it encounters.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the VolserLog file does not already exist in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/logs</replaceable>
|
|
directory when the Volume Server starts, the server process creates it and
|
|
writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the
|
|
Volume Server renames it to <replaceable>VolserLog.old</replaceable>, overwriting the existing
|
|
<replaceable>VolserLog.old</replaceable> file if it exists.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
|
|
<replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file can use the <emphasis role="bold">bos getlog</emphasis> command to display
|
|
its contents. Alternatively, log onto the file server machine and use a
|
|
text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX <emphasis role="bold">cat</emphasis> command. By
|
|
default, the mode bits on the <replaceable>VolserLog</replaceable> file grant the required <computeroutput>r</computeroutput>
|
|
(read) permission to all users.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Volume Server records operations only as it completes them, and so
|
|
cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
|
|
useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
|
|
problems.</para>
