ˇTo be more clear.. the problematic server (one I was salvaging) had thr RW/RO pair, and was pref 5005. I set it to 35000 through fs getserverprefs > /tmp/foo, editing that file, and reissuing it through fs setserverprefs -stdin. The other Fileservers which had RO copies were now at about 20000.
It still went for the 35000 pref server. On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Timothy Balcer <[email protected]> wrote: > I took down a file server for salvaging today, part of routine > maintenance.
