I would think you could also do individual volumes salvages
which, although slower, would not result in downtime (for
those of us with no window, for example).
For example:
server="afs-10"
part="a"
foreach vol ( `vos listvol -fast $server $part | tail +2` )
bos salvage $server $part $vol
end
Say doing one partion early each morning or something.
