3 FORCESALVAGE - Forces salvage of entire partition
7 The FORCESALVAGE file, if present on an AFS server partition
8 (that is, in a B</vicep> directory), signals that the Salvager must
9 salvage the entire partition. The AFS-modified version of the
10 B<fsck> program creates the empty (zero-length) file when it discovers
11 corruption on the partition. The Salvager removes the file when it
12 completes the salvage operation.
14 When the File Server detects the presence of the file on a partition on
15 which it is attaching volumes, it stops, detaches any volumes that are already
16 attached, and exits after recording a message in the
17 B</usr/afs/logs/FileLog> file. The Bos Server then invokes the
18 Salvager to salvage the partition.
