Its just that one time I ran "salvager" for a single volume
interactively and that somehow screwed things up. I think I've read
something about the salvager regarding volume locking in some man page
but can't seem to find that part right now.

Anyway, right now I run the following command via a cron job once a
week:

"bos salvage -server "server" -showlog -all -orphans remove"

I've just added the "-orphans remove" thanks to your hint.

There's currently only one partition and it is using ext3:

mount | grep vicep
/dev/mapper/raid1-afs.vicepa on /vicepa type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime)

Greetings,
