I mentioned a few weeks ago about an OpenAFS 1.4.6 Solaris 10 x86 inode fileserver that refused to attach any volumes and for which the salavager just coredumps (without leaving any core files?) Repeated salvaging does nothing except remove a few more vnodes. On the other hand, umounting and fsck shows that everything is fine.
Is there any way to get some of the data out of the inode fileserver partitions? It's very frustrating because some things weren't backed up (yes, yes, ...). The -ForceOnLine option to bos salvage looked promising but that's only available for MR AFS. The only thing I can think of is labeling the partition as UFS and then have the built-in fsck drop everything into lost+found, but I'm not sure if any of the structure will be recoverable. Is there any way to just get the data out of the inode partition? (since fsck is happy with it.) I even tried reinstalling openafs-1.4.1 to see if some horrible new bug was introduced, but the same result happened.
