[OpenAFS] Bos server failure

[Steve Devine]

All,
Odd problem here.
I have a file server where the bos server has stopped. It still seems to 
be serving files ok. vlserver is not running either.
The last time this happened I restarted bosserver and this started a 
chain reaction of Salvaging that never actually stopped.
The best solution is a reboot but if the server will hold off till 
tonight I would like to wait untill then .. classes are in full swing 
right now.

SO here is my question .. can I remove SALVAGE.fs and start bosserver 
thereby avoiding the salvage routine?
Or can I kill the fileserver processs one by one and then restart bosserver?

Or is this an invitation to more headaches.?

Also has anyone had any this happen to them?
