[OpenAFS-devel] Re: some requests

[Mattson, Steve]

One vos listvol vs. VLDB difference is that vos listvol will show you
volumes on the disk that have no corresponding entries in the VLDB.
This most often happens for us when folks who only occasionally manage
volumes issue vos remsite instead of vos remove.  But you'll figure that
out when you find yourself wondering why all of your well-formatted and
extended stats related to a particular, apparently perfectly good volume
are all zeroes because no one can traverse the VLDB and arrive at it. :)

I think we would need "vos listvol <server> [<partition>] -long
-extended -format", if it would work correctly.
It doesn't format the output. (It works good only without -extended.)

I'm sorry, forget VLDB. (It was just in the request description which I
didn't want to touch.)
I think exactly the volume header (src/volume.h/VolumeDiskData struct)
would have to be extened to include this new counter.

Yes, there is a point #03 which is still under discussion at our side. I
just didn't want to shift the task numbers.
