salvager -parallel all8

no space between all and the numeral; replace the numeral with the
actual number of partitions to salvage in parallel.=20

you will be much happier.

I have 4 1TB volumes spread across 4 volume servers.    Is there any way

I'm monitoring /usr/afs/logs/SalvageLog.0 to get an idea on progress..
is there a more accurate way?

Also do you have your bos server automatically running restart on a
weekly basis?  I'm looking to minimize downtime.  Would splitting up my
/vicepa to smaller

Partitions speed up the salvage process?

on a clean shutdown i hope you aren't salvaging.
