Hi, Steve, Did you do an fsck on the hard drive (or whatever the SUN equivalent is these days)? I had a similar problem recently where a system lost power. It started up ok and recovered using the ext3 journal, but my data was missing after the salvage. After a few salvage attempts, my data was still missing. I stopped the AFS fileserver, unmounted the partitions, used fsck to check them all manually, and sure enough the partition that was flaking had errors. Once I cleaned that up, I salvaged again, and voila!... my data reappeared. I recommend checking the underlying filesystem for errors. It may be too late if you've already started restoring data to the partition... but perhaps for future reference.

(I'm under the general impression that interrupting salvages is a bad idea.) At any rate, I've turned off the "restarts for new binaries at 5:00 am" thing. steve - - - systems & network manager high energy physics university of wisconsin > ---- Original Message ---- > From: rader > > One of our servers (Solaris7 inode fileserver running 1.2.11) lost > power this morning and the resulting bos salvage on a large (50 GB) > volume removed about 600,000 files.... /usr/afs/logs/SalvageLog > reads, for example... > > 07/29/2005 06:19:26 dir vnode 87953: invalid entry: \ > ./cmsprod/cern/setup.sh (vnode 2258102, unique 14499243) > 07/29/2005 06:19:26 dir vnode 87953: ./cmsprod/cern/setup.sh \ > (vnode 2258102): unique changed from 14499243 to 0 -- deleted > > Does anybody have any suggestions about how to recover the lost > files??
