My question:
QUESTION: is it correct that /sbin/advfs/salvage (du4.0d) does not
salvage device special files with correct major/minor device numbers?
I got one answer from Dr. Tom Blinn <tpb_at_zk3.dec.com> citing the
documentation for salvage:
>The salvage utility helps you recover file data after an AdvFS file domain
>has become unmountable due to some type of data corruption.
and explaining why I therefore shouldn't expect expect salvage to recover
major/minor device numbers since they are not "file data".
Yours
