I'd happily write a script/whathaveyou that looks over the unmounted  
volumes and one by one salvages them. It strikes me as the kind of  
things you'd want to start running 30 minutes or so after the file  
server restarts. A swatch-like script that scans for volumes that need  
salvage would be another win.

Recent discussion here touted the utility of doing an occasional  
salvage as a best practice thing.
