Russ Allbery e3dfba8e6c 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.fs - Triggers salvaging of AFS server partitions
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The SALVAGE.fs file, if present in a file server
machine's B</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 B<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 B</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 B<root> and issue the
B<salvager> command.
