FORCESALVAGE - Forces salvage of entire partition
The
FORCESALVAGE file, if present on an AFS server partition (that is, in
a
/vicep directory), signals that the Salvager must salvage the entire
partition. The AFS-modified version of the
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
/var/log/openafs/FileLog file. The Bos Server then invokes the Salvager
to salvage the partition.
