I think just about every major AFS site has done something similar to
this, and naturally, so did we.
The AFS 3.4 salvager makes the data-gathering part of this code
trivial.
salvager -showmount
will print into the SalvageLog, one line per mount, per volume
scanned. Since this command line option implies -nowrite (i.e. RO
access to the data) you can run this without shutting down the
fileserver, and gather data in batch mode. Sample output looks like:
02/05/96 13:29:43 In volume 536870928 (ms.dist) found mountpoint ./sunos.5.4 to
'#dt.2329.sunos.5.4.'
You can then gather the SalvageLog files (using bos getlog, perhaps),
and parse these to build a complete tree of volume/mounts. You can
then scan this for mount loops, missing volumes (i.e. mounted
nowhere), etc.
