I guess I have seen one like it. I don't know what logredo is and I haven't
used AIX systems for servers yet. When I was using a VAX for the server
everytime it went down unexpectedly it would come up and run vfsck and then
come online. I don't recall if salvager ran automatically or not, but several
volumes (same ones every time) would remain offline until manually salvaged.
Transarc's response was something to the affect that they knew about the
problem but hadn't fixed it. I've recently moved the server to a DECstation
and a newer version of AFS and haven't seen it reccur (though it hasn't been
very long since the switchover).
