Hartmut's right. My statement assumed this is a namei fileserver.

Is this a namei-fileserver? If so you could "cd" as root into the /vicep-partitions
and look what remained. If the fileserver doesn't report any volumes probably
the volume header files are gone, but not necessarily all the data in AFSIDat.
You may do a "du" to see what remained.
What says the SalvageLog. It should report about any volumes the salvager so
an why he deleted them.

The volumes are no longer listed in the vldb (I have a listing of
ID's names etc but I'm not sure how much that helps.
command "vos listvol fileserver" gives:
Total number of volumes on server thing partition /vicepa: 0 Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0
Total number of volumes on server thing partition /vicepb: 0 Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0
Total number of volumes on server thing partition /vicepd: 0 Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0
After the crash I stopped, then restarted all services on the fs,
tho I have not yet done any restart on the database server.
post restarting services I ran a salvage, which ran fairly quick
(3-4 min. on 2 4g and 1 8g partitions on a k7/600 system). I fear
the speed with which this finished may well indicate the fs's view
of what volumes it houses are well and truly lost.
the vldb showed the correct entries for a few hours after this fs
crashed and restarted, I've tried to do the following to restore volumes that had been on the fileserver:
"vos syncv fileserver /vicepd 536870970"
So the question is, do I have any reasonable chance of recovering the currently invisible volumes on this fs?
If so, how should I be going about it?
thanks for any ideas
forrest
