I have tried vos remove and vos zap .. I can't get rid of any vols.Volume management fails on this machine. Its the old style (non namei) fileserver. It doesn't seem like I can just "rm the V#####.vol" can I?
Any help?

To remove the small V#####.vol files doesn't help, they are really only 76 bytes long.

What happens if you do a "vos remove" or a "vos zap"?
Go the volumes away and the free space seems as low as before?

This can happen, if you only removed readonly and backup volumes which typically can free only the space used by their metadata while the space used by their files and directories is shared between them and the RW volume. But, of course, you don't want to remove your RW-volumes. May be, if you have removed all RO- and BK- volumes you have enough free space for the temporary volume being created when you try to move your smallest RW-volume to another partition/server.

There is also a "-live" option for the vos move command which should doe the move without creating a clone. I suppose it has been written for such cases.

Good luck,
Hartmut
