Its necessary to specify the server and partition when removing a
readonly. Perhaps the syntax is how it is since it would be difficult
to write the syntax (not the code, just the help syntax) for sometimes
optional -server -partition switches.
--> vos help remove
vos remove: delete a volume
Usage: vos remove [?-server <machine name>?] [?-partition <partition name>?]
-id <volume name or ID> [-f ] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth ]
[-localauth ] [-verbose ] [-help ]
The DFS command parser is more sophisticated than the AFS command
parser, but I'm not sure it could handle this instance either.
Lame excuse perhaps. I'm not claiming its the real one. Just a
thought.
