ok.  so why does the fileserver always need to set the inUse bit on every
volume?  if no one accesses a volume on a server the volume hasnt been
modified.  if the nUsers of a volume drops to 0 perhaps the inUse bit for
a volume could be set to 0 on disk.  this is only useful on a journaled
filesystem i guess.  during restarts, only volumes that were actually
inUse during the fileserver failure would be marked as needing salvaged.
