Hypothetical Scenario:

    AFS fileserver 'downserver' is down and unbootable.
    It served both RW and RO volumes.  A list of these
    volumes is attainable via vos listvldb.  Let's assume
    'downserver' is going to have to be down for a week.

    AFS fileserver 'up' is up.

    AFS fileserver 'up' has 'downserver's old /vice
    partitions mounted (they are no longer physically
    connected to 'downserver').

    fs has been restarted on 'up'.

Questions:

I can't easily test these.

Obviously a 'vos syncvldb up' needs to happen at some point.

1.  Is it necessary (and wise) to use 'vos delentry -server
    downserver' beforehand to avoid VLDB issues?

2.  OR... will 'vos syncvldb downserver' then 'vos syncvldb
    up' cause the dead VLDB entries to clear out due to the
    server being inaccessible?
