There is - but you need a patch. Have a look at ftp://instantafs.cbs.mpg.de/instantafs/common/openafs/1.2.13-1.1+rorw You'll find patched 1.2.13-debian-packages there. > If there is NO backup of that harddisk, only these RO, which is the best way > to > recover that data? vos dump [...] | vos restore [...] (See AFS-help for details) > And: If there was no RO to the RW, whats the best way to make that link to a > new > volume? You could remove the VLDB-entry of the destroyed RW-volume: vos delentry [volume] and create a new volume with the same name: vos create ... The clients won't recognise the difference because they only read the volume names stored in your volume-mountpoints. It *might* be necessary to execute fs checkvolumes on your AFS-clients to reread the Name/ID-Mapping of the destroyed volume from VLDB.
