Hi Managers,
Sorry, if I waste bandwidth but I got problems with my
mailer end of last week so I repost the summary and Question once more.
I asked:
>

Thank's to

Their responses are cited below.
Maybe I did not forlulate my question / problem as precise as it would
be necessary.
I tried to salvage one 4.2 GB disk of a two disk containing file domain.
The disk to salvage on was slightly bigger (4.3 GB). At the end the salvage
routine stopped with an error (disk full) while creating these tag files in
the temp1.lost+found directory.
What are these tag files for?
Did I recover everything possible?

Hi,
The tag numbers are equivalent to UFS inode numbers. The tag is the
file number. You can find the name of the file by using
/sbin/advfs/tag2name <tag#>...

Greetings,
I'm not sure what the tag files are used for, but any AdvFS filesystem
that you create uses them. You'll notice when you build a new AdvFS
filesystem that it creates the quota.group and quota.user files and the
.tags directory. I don't think it creates the lost+found directory until
it has to recover something.
I'm not sure what they mean, but they are important.
More later,
Ken S.
