3FORCESALVAGE - Forces salvage of entire partition
4
5=head1 DESCRIPTION
6
7The F<FORCESALVAGE> file, if present on an AFS server partition (that is,
8in a F</vicep> directory), signals that the Salvager must salvage the
9entire partition. The AFS-modified version of the B<fsck> program creates
10the empty (zero-length) file when it discovers corruption on the
11partition. The Salvager removes the file when it completes the salvage
12operation.
13
14When the File Server detects the presence of the file on a partition on
15which it is attaching volumes, it stops, detaches any volumes that are
16already attached, and exits after recording a message in the
17F</usr/afs/logs/FileLog> file. The Bos Server then invokes the Salvager to
18salvage the partition.
