Actually, you don't even need to go to that much trouble, just install a copy of the voldump tool (built as part of the normal build now, at least with cvs/1.3.x I believe), it will generate a dump directly from the local data without even running a server. Might only work with namei though, don't have a inode fileserver to test it with.
Indeed, I hadn't thought of that.
I see no reason it shouldn't work with inode fileservers; as far as I know it uses the same indirection mechanism used by the fileserver and volserver. Of course, to recover data on an inode fileserver, you do have to have the AFS kernel module loaded, just as you would to run a fileserver. But you _don't_ have to actually start an AFS client; just loading the module is sufficient to provide the magic system calls for manipulating the data on the vice partitions.
