the NEWS file says:
** If the --enable-fast-restart flag is given when configuring AFS,
then the salvager supports the -dontsalvage flag which causes it to
exit without salvaging any volumes. If this is configured into the
third command of a fs process, then the fileserver will start without
salvaging. It will fail to attach volumes that need salvaging and they
can be salvaged manually. This provides significantly better server
startup performance at the cost of administrative complexity.
but what i dont understand is how volumes get marked as needing
salvaged? salvager doesnt do it and fileserver doesnt do it.
what does?
if i kill -9 a fast-restart fileserver it reattaches all the volumes
without a complaint. this seems "bad".
