I have only 2 fileservers foo and bar :-)
When server bar started with problems I initiated to move online the
volumes from server bar to server foo. Before the finish of the move
I had to stop server bar to do a fsck on /vicepa that failed. While I
was trying to make fsck succeed on bar, foo does the programed restart
on 4 am of Sunday.
On the morning of Sunday I found the two fileservers down, my extra 3
DB/Mail servers with problems because the mail server had started to
many process, and last but not least my backup server couldn't start
because of the afs client. It was stopping on the launch of afsd.
On foo server I didn't find any good message error message on
/var/log/openafs behind the Salvage that finished with success.
Whenever I had done /etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver stop and start the
foo server went into Salvage and in the end I couldn't get a "vos
listvol foo".
Restarting the 3 extra DB/Mail servers solved problems with the backup
server. After this I tried a hint I found in the Internet, someone
with the same problem like I had with foo server, said ulimit -s
8192 was not enough and would bug report to Debian. So I have done
an "ulimit -s unlimited" on shell and started one more time the
fileserver. This time after a successful salvage I had the volumes
online.
I didn't found any bug report on BTS or on the changelog about this
issue. So I am asking here. As more people could had this same issue
on other Linux distributions or Unix.
Maybe my problem was the 3 extra DB server with problems, as I didn't
had enough DB servers for quorum, I had maybe 1 or 2 DB servers out of
5.
