One of our servers (Solaris7 inode fileserver running 1.2.11) lost
power this morning and the resulting bos salvage on a large (50 GB)
volume removed about 600,000 files....  /usr/afs/logs/SalvageLog
reads, for example...

 07/29/2005 06:19:26 dir vnode 87953: invalid entry: \
   ./cmsprod/cern/setup.sh (vnode 2258102, unique 14499243)
 07/29/2005 06:19:26 dir vnode 87953: ./cmsprod/cern/setup.sh \
   (vnode 2258102): unique changed from 14499243 to 0 -- deleted

Does anybody have any suggestions about how to recover the lost
files??  (I'm restoring from tape now, but I'll still have the
busted volume around when I'm done.)
