[OpenAFS-devel] Starting fs without salvaging...

[Nathan Neulinger]

I've seen some comments in the salvager (I think) code talking about an 
option that can be used to cause the fileserver to come up and attach 
volumes without running a full salvage, requiring you to manually salvage 
broken volumes after the fact based on what was attached, and what wasn't.

This seems like a way to get large file servers to come up alot quicker. 

Is anyone doing this, or has anyone done this? Does it work, or is it 
more trouble than it is worth?

On an unrelated note - is anyone aware of any way to get linux to save a 
crash dump when a panic is enough to kill the machine?
