Definitely early in the sequence. SFS is mission critical here. I have the AUTOLOG2 machine wait after it AUTOLOGs the SFS servers until it can access a directory in each critical file pool before it continues with the rest of the AUTOLOGs. If it cannot access a directory after a given amount of time, it aborts with messages to the operator to call for help. So far, there have been no calls.
