I've been messing around with this since last Thursday, so be gentle. If this is an inappropriate venue, just tell me.
Anyway, the fundamental question seems to be "Can I use vos syncvldb to get the existing volumes for /vicepa, ... to show up again in the file server?" The bit of the file server that died was the hard drive that the system was installed on, so I've lost every bit of OpenAFS server configuration that I had accumulated... The /vicep* (in particular /vicepa, /vicepb, /vicepc, and /videpd) areas seem to be intact (they were on other hard drives). But, I can't get any of the volumes from any of the /vicep* directories to be served by the file server process. The vos command insists that the VLDB has "Total entries: 0" and displays nothing. But a vos command to list volumes insists that there are 40 volumes on the file server? At this point, I'm nursing scars from attempting to figure out what is going on, so I'm a little reluctant to just try a "vos syncvldb" command. Advice? Best Regards, Ken Aaker
