| 3 | VolserLog - Traces Volume Server operations |
| 4 | |
| 5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The F<VolserLog> file records a trace of Volume Server (B<volserver> |
| 8 | process) operations on the local machine and describes any error |
| 9 | conditions it encounters. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | If the VolserLog file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs> |
| 12 | directory when the Volume Server starts, the server process creates it and |
| 13 | writes initial start-up messages to it. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the |
| 16 | F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display |
| 17 | its contents. Alternatively, log onto the file server machine and use a |
| 18 | text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By |
| 19 | default, the mode bits on the F<VolserLog> file grant the required C<r> |
| 20 | (read) permission to all users. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | The Volume Server records operations only as it completes them, and so |
| 23 | cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are |
| 24 | useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other |
| 25 | problems. |
