If you have lsof you can use that to see
what files are open. You can use...
lsof -F File_Name.exp
...and use that output. I would suggest reading
the man page carefully though. There are alot
of "note" and options.
All said and done though your solution appears
to be simple and if it works...I say stick
with it.

salvage.fs
SALVAGE.FS(5) AFS File Reference SALVAGE.FS(5)
NAME
SALVAGE.fs - Triggers salvaging of AFS server partitions
DESCRIPTION
The SALVAGE.fs file, if present in a file server machine's /var/lib/openafs/local directory, indicates to the Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
(bosserver process) that it must invoke the Salvager (salvager process) during recovery from a failure of the File Server (fileserver
process).
The BOS Server creates the zero-length file each time it starts or restarts the "fs" process. When the File Server exits normally (for
example, in response to the bos shutdown or bos stop command), the BOS Server removes the file. However, if the File Server exits
unexpectedly, the file remains in the /var/lib/openafs/local directory as a signal that the BOS Server must invoke the Salvager process to
repair any file system inconsistencies possibly introduced during the failure, before restarting the File Server and Volume Server
processes.
Do not create or remove this file. To invoke the Salvager process directly, use the bos salvage command or log onto the file server machine
as the local superuser "root" and issue the salvager command.
