Hello, I think I found my problem. It is the /etc/openafs/server-local/SALVAGE.fs file, which is lying on the wrong machine in case of an unclean failover. This file is created when bos starts, and deleted on a clean shutdown. On a crash, this file remains and tells bos to salvage on the next startup. Naturally, this is not useful if I start bos on an other machine. I will probably move the server-local directory to common external storage as well, or just touch SALVAGE.fs on startup.
