Greetings,

I've got a little problem regarding my OpenAFS server. I have migrated my 
server onto a new machine. For this purpose I had to move the /vicep* data to a 
temporary storage device.

What I didn't know - until now - was that the raw AFS data files rely on file 
permissions and ownership information. Thus I haven't checked the correctness 
of the permissions after copying the data to the other harddisk.

Now I've still got the correct owner/group/world permissions for the files but 
the ownership information is gone. It's all owned by root:root now.

As a result I can't access all AFS volumes on the new OpenAFS server any more. 
Only a few are accessible. The others are marked for salvage but salvaging 
fails.

So my question is if there is any possibility of recovering / fixing the 
ownership information of the raw AFS filesystem structure and where I could get 
information about how this file hierarchy on /vicep* is organised.

Of course I've backuped all relevant data otherwise already. But I'd really 
like to keep the whole AFS volume structure intact.

Thank you for any suggestions,

Matthias Gerstner
