Dear all,
I am trying to restore my AFS web volume after an incident. The problem seemed
to be a piece of cake, but I was wrong: the volume is still inaccessible.
Symptoms:
No access to the web volume (html forbidden error).
So, I’ve logged on a client and saw this:
$ ls -l
ls: cannot access html: Connection timed out
total 6197
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 milicchio diaafs 6339727 May 8 19:45 latest.zip

drwxr-xr-x 5 milicchio diaafs 2048 May 30 10:36 wordpress/
Then, I examined it:
$ vos examine html.milicchio
Could not fetch the information about volume 536871913 from the server
: No such device
Volume does not exist on server aux.dia.uniroma3.it as indicated by the VLDB

I’ve tried some basic commands:
$ vos syncserv aux
Server aux synchronized with VLDB
$ vos syncvldb aux
VLDB synchronized with state of server aux
But it didn’t work. So, I started salvaging, but it didn’t work:
$ bos salvage aux -all
bos: shutting down 'fs'.
Starting salvage.
bos: waiting for salvage to complete.

The volume now seems to be in the VLDB and on the server, since vos doesn’t

Can you help me in restoring the volume back?
Thanks!
