[OpenAFS] Help needed for receovery of data of inode fileserver (Solaris 10 x86)

2008-04-02 Thread John Tang Boyland

Do you have logging turned on in this partition? (It should be off.) see man mount_ufs There were some issues in the past the the log might use some fields in the inode that AFS also uses. You might try turn off logging then run the AFS fsck. (Use at your own risk!) John Tang Boyland wrote: I
