Package: openafs

Severity: wishlist

Hi,
it would be nice if the package could be built with
--enable-fast-restart
and
--enable-bitmap-later

The first parameter makes it possible to disable starting the salvager
when the server starts (but the default is still to start it). The
salvager can be disabled with "-DontSalvage" as parameter for it.
Of course it has the disadvantage, that volumes that can't be mounted
will lie around and can't be used until one runs the salvager by hand on
it but OTOH it doesn't take hours for the server to start with many
volumes.

The second parameter enables "fast startup of file server by not reading
bitmap till needed". Should be pretty selfdescriptional :)

What do you think? The first one doesn't make a difference unless
someone explicitely enables it in the config, the second only deffers
the bitmap reading to the time where it is actually needed.

Bye
