Did you set up /vice/db/vicetab to have a valid entry for /vicepb?
Also, you may have to restart the servers before the new partition is
picked up from that file.

+ volutil -h tarzan1 dumpvrdb /vice/db/VRList.new
+ '[' 255 -ne 0 ']'
+ echo 'Failed to dump the current VRDB into /vice/db/VRList.new'
Failed to dump the current VRDB into /vice/db/VRList.new
+ exit 1

If you run that volutil command from the prompt does it give an
explanation for the error? In the script we redirected stderr to
/dev/null to avoid too much clutter.

# more /vice/vol/BigVolumeList
P/vicepa Htarzan1 T8b3f8c F8b3f78
W/.0 I1000001 H1 P/vicepa m0 M0 U2 W1000001 C45b88f7a D45b88f7a B0 A0

This does look like we don't know about any vicepb 'partitions' on
either tarzan1 or tarzan2, as there would be a P/vicepb line in the
volume list. But maybe the script never got far enough to update this
information.

Hello,


I am quite new to coda and I tried to install a coda system on an AMD64 using debian (testing) in my school building from sources.

I just a similar problem, as indicated in the archives I checked that there was no problems of loopback address, and I deactivated ipv6 just in case. I also checked my files in /vice/db but they seems ok (most of them are just empty anyway). I tried to run a different vice-setup but it doesn't change anything.

In fact the truth is I don't understand how my install could work : I don't have any rpc2portmap daemon listening or even installed.
(netstat seems to indicate that nothing is waiting for rpc calls).
but I don't understand where I missed the thing either, I checked my install of rpc2 and it should be quite fine.

my dump is quite the same instead that /vice/vol/BigVolumeList doesn't exist.

I followed this wiki for tips on my install : http://coda.wikidev.net/The_Coda_Administration_and_User_Manual and this for the configuration : http://linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/4481/5/

It fails on :

Failed to dump the current VRDB into /vice/db/VRList.new

I think that I missed something simple but I really don't get where, I installed twice the system without any success...

I hope someone can help.

Regards,

P.S. : Sorry for my english, I try to be understood
