23 <P>Forces salvage of entire partition
24 <P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
25 <P>The <B>FORCESALVAGE</B> file, if present on an AFS server partition
26 (that is, in a <B>/vicep</B> directory), signals that the Salvager must
27 salvage the entire partition. The AFS-modified version of the
28 <B>fsck</B> program creates the empty (zero-length) file when it discovers
29 corruption on the partition. The Salvager removes the file when it
30 completes the salvage operation.
31 <P>When the File Server detects the presence of the file on a partition on
32 which it is attaching volumes, it stops, detaches any volumes that are already
33 attached, and exits after recording a message in the
34 <B>/usr/afs/logs/FileLog</B> file. The Bos Server then invokes the
35 Salvager to salvage the partition.
