right.  but i dont really see many cases where fileserver might actually
do this.  we have crashed/wedged the local fileserver several due to
some hardware trouble and i have never seen a volume come up as needing
salvaged.  usually, we get a complaint at some later date from a user
about strange problems with files in his volume.
