So far some ideas I've come up with are to either: 1. have the running salvageserver only obtain salvage.lock when it is "doing something", and relinquish it during idle periods. or 2. allow -showmounts (and maybe some other options as well) tor run from the command line without obtaining the lock (or locking on a different range, perhaps). -- Mark Vitale mvitale@sinenomine.net_______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
