converting the RO to an RW Volume consists mainly of three parts: - converting the volume special files, e.g. the content of the info file and a kind of renaming of the all special files - converting the volume header file, which contains the inodes of the volume special files - replacing the vldb entry for the volume I have only dealt with the namei fileserver because - it was part of Hartmut's changes to MR-AFS - we don't need it for non-namei fileservers. I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement it for non-namei servers, but I think, it shouldn't be expensive.
