I did not test the salvager on this system. I used my test cell
 I moved about 900 volumes from the TRANSARC source server to the same OpenAFS 
server partition without any problems. The fileserver and volserver were  
1.3.77 compiled with large file support. Serious troubles arose when I 
started to move volumes wich contained websites to another partition. Volumes 
got dammaged, volserver frequently core dumped. Our whole webservice - we 
host about 200 websites,all webpages in AFS - was down for half a day. I then 
exchanged the fileserver and volserver against a 1.3.65 version compiled 
without large file support, which solved my problems. I had this version 
already running for several month on a small fileserver.
