I really don't like to wait for a salvage or have to vos move
everything to another server.
You shouldn't have to salvage if you do a clean restart with bos
restart -bosserver. The only delay is breaking callbacks and
attaching volumes. (Which admittedly isn't always fast.)
Yes, I usually compile my binaries with --enable-fast-restart. The
openafs.org binaries (at least the sun4x_510 ones) are not compiled this
way and a salvage is always run when a bos restart or shutdown isn't
given. And, since bosserver died on the machine where I want to restart
it, I can't give a bos restart (or am I missing something and bos
restart -bossserver doesn't require a currently running bosserver?) Is
there a non-bosserver way to correctly shutdown the fileserver? Some
signal that can be sent or something?
And speaking on configure flags, are the options used to compile the
available openafs.org binaries listed somewhere? I think someone asked
about this a little while ago, but I did not see an answer.
And, if something else did crash (likely ptserver,) can it be
manually restarted without using bosserver?
Yes.
How? Just run the parm command(s) listed in the BosConfig file?
If you wanted to, you could run everything under something like
daemontools. You just wouldn't get the network management.
Hmm. Is anyone doing this and wish to share?
