Re: [OpenAFS] Speeding up Salvage

[Kim Kimball]

I use -fastrestart which is IIRC a compile-time option. The liability is that some volumes may not be attached at startup. The 'notifier' option in the BosConfig entry can be used to send email or to automatically salvage individual volumes. Although I've had very good luck with this I will say that the notifier script is executed twice, not once, by the BosServer when specified for the fs entry -- apparently once for the fileserver and once for the volserver.  It's a nuisance. All in all, however, almost every volume has been placed back into service immediately after every fileserver restart/crash.  Very few instances of off line or could not attach volumes. For us that's a win -- instead of making all volumes on the server unavailable for upwards of 45 minutes, well over 90% of the users are never aware the fileserver went down at all, and with the notifier script automatic salvage (my script is still defective due to the 2x notifier script execution or I'd paste it here) I've had exactly one complaint from one user after multiple spontaneous crashes (not for a long time, thank you all developers!) and intentional file server kills. YMMV.
