As far as processing volume dumps is concerned, take a look at my
dumpscan  tools (currently in
/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/systems-jhutz/dumpscan).  They  provide
libraries for parsing and emitting volume dumps, and a few tools as
well.

I was curious so I tried:

$ dump root.cell -file root.cell.dump
$ afsdump_dirlist root.cell.dump
  VNode      Uniqifier   Name
  ========== ==========  ==============================
afsdump_dirlist: Bad magic number in AFS volume dump Invalid page tag
(41235) in page 0 *** FAILED: Bad magic number in AFS volume dump

afsdump_dirlist operates on files that contain a single AFS directory, as would be found on the fileserver's disk or in a cache chunk. It won't work on volume dump files.




$ afsdump_extract root.cell.dump
chdir (null) failed: Bad address

ISTR the argument parsing in afsdump_extract is not too great. You may get better results if you actually give it the name of a directory to extract into.


If you just want to look at what's in the dump, you want afsdump_scan. Don't just run it -- look at the help; there are lots of options for controlling how much output it generates.
