doesn't exist, or if there's an error accessing the underlying file, or
a problem accessing a directory, or whatever. It doesn't do it just
because the volume wasn't detached cleanly by the last server.
ok. so why does the fileserver always need to set the inUse bit on every
volume? if no one accesses a volume on a server the volume hasnt been
modified. if the nUsers of a volume drops to 0 perhaps the inUse bit for
a volume could be set to 0 on disk. this is only useful on a journaled
filesystem i guess. during restarts, only volumes that were actually
inUse during the fileserver failure would be marked as needing salvaged.
Well, it's also useful across a crash of the fileserver process. And I
agree that something on this order is probably a good idea.
