Yes, I think that's still correct. The easiest way to set up a AFS
server is probably to take a linux distro which has pre-packaged
binaries for AFS client and server. Debian for example.
I don't understand the part about the salvager deleting the data.
I think the ownership and mode bits conain information if the file in
question is "active". The salvager may delete inactive data. But prior
to copying your old data into your new /vicepa/ you can remove the
salvager from BosConfig and then run the salvager by hand with
-nowrite which will tell you what the salvager would have done.
I have
the recovered /vicepa folder on a ntfs partition. I'm trying to
recover
again the folder but to an ext4 partition trying to preserve
ownership and
modes ...
Good if you can do that. Zip and Tar archives can be told to preserve
ownership as well.
Harald.
Ok.
I was hoping there was some simple way to extract the data, which did
not involve the creation of an afs server.
I have a perl script from 2005 that could do this - but only for pure r/w
volumes. If there's a backup or readonly clone on the same partition, it
will probably fail miserably. It's not polished, may have to be adapted to
current perl versions etc. And I think it recovered nothing but the file
content and the path, not mode/owner/ACLs...
That would be enough for me at this moment.
Setting up a server is certainly the better option and may well be easier
and faster. But if you're desperate enough, let me know.
I think the script could be useful to play with the data that I have while
I wait for other processes to finish. I would appreciate if you send it to
me.

Germán
Would restorevol work?
