Re: [OpenAFS] Volumes lost on fileserver / vldb post fs crash
Hartmut's right. My statement assumed this is a namei fileserver. Horst On Saturday, April 24, 2004, at 10:40 AM, Hartmut Reuter wrote: Is this a namei-fileserver?

Re: [OpenAFS] Volumes lost on fileserver / vldb post fs crash
What's actually on the filesystem. If your salvage deleted the files on the filesystem of the server there's no magic ... What does your FileLog saying on start of the fileserver? Anything like "couldn't attach volume "?? On Friday, April 23, 2004, at 06:31 PM, Forrest D Whitcher wrote: I had a fileserver crash yesterday with apparently bad consequences.
