Ahh.. thanks for that! :)

I did an addsite but specified the same server as the RW volume and,
foolishly, tried to interrupt the process.  I ended up vos removing the RO
volume, but it wouldn't do it, so I did a forced zap. I then did an vos
addsite with the proper server directive, and it appeared to go ok, and I
was able to release.

Unfortunately, it looks like I need to change the logging prefs for openafs
on my system, as it has wiped those out already after two restarts.

1.61 on Ubuntu, as shown in the first line of the salvage log.

OpenAFS 1.6.1-2ubuntu2-debian built  2012-09-12

I would add in addition, a vos examine says the volume does not exist, and
shows only the VLDB dump... I am guessing this is because it is offline?
FYI the volume file is present on /vicepb.

root@afs-db:/var/log/openafs# ls /vicepb
AFSIDat  Lock  lost+found  V0536870935.vol
