Jeffrey Hutzelman has clarified things nicely in his other email. Jeffrey, I rephrase here to see if I got it:
First line, " root.afs.readonly 536901459 RO 10 K On-line " , refers specifically to the volume being examined, saying in effect "This particular volume is a type RO volume with volID 536901459"
Second line is location " magic.lab.ccre.com /vicepa"
What Jeffrey clarifies is that the next line is _not_ about the specific volume being examined, but instead gives information about the volume "family" of which this volume is a member.
It is about the volume being examined, but what it tells you are that volume's relations to other volumes in the same "volume group" on the fileserver. Recall that a volume group is essentially a set of volumes that share inodes (through cloning and copy-on-write).
So " RWrite 536901458 ROnly 0 Backup 0 "
reads
I have a parent RW, ID 536901458. I, the RO volume, am not replicated. (There may be other replicas like me, but I myself am not the source/parent of any replica) I, the RO volume, do not have a corresponding Backup volume (My parent RW may have a Backup volume, but I am not the source/parent of any Backup volume)
Yes, as long as you bear in mind that these are about relationships between volumes on disk, and not on any other partition or server.
