Others may disagree, but my opinion is that Fast Restart is not yet ready
for production use.  Testing is always helpful, though.

That is news to me (ie, showing all volumes as on-line).  I would love to
have a copy of

- bos stat -long
- vos listvol output,
- FileLog,
- any/all salvage logs,
- VolserLog

Jeff's advice of looking at FileLog to see what volumes require salvaging is
where I would start as well.  However, there is different behavior w/Fast
Restart, so that might not be of help (I've not seen the case you describe
in the testing I've done, so I'm not sure).

Thanks,
Steven
