I took down a file server for salvaging today, part of routine maintenance.
It had a RW/RO pair on it of volume 'photos', and there were two RO copies
on two other fileservers (on other networks).These RO copies are mounted
and online.

When the salvage process started, nothing could talk to the RO path to the
mount. Got some 'Device doesn't exist' sort of errors. Even on the remote
network fileservers.

VLDB entries are clean. Releases are all congruent.

Tried manually setting pref via fs setserverprefs.. set that server pref to
35000

Still tries to access the local RW/RO volume for the RO path.. doing an
strace showed this was true.

The problem will fix itself once the salvage is over, but this is
disturbing... what can I do to avoid this sort of problem in future? Am I
doing something wrong here? Better troubleshooting? Advice appreciated :)
