Hy ,

but you have to take care ....

he is running an old Version of the IBM AFS Server (Version 3.5) .
if you run your Fileserver together with you DB Server on the same System 
which is inode based ,
just replacing the binaries would result in loosing data  :-) depending on 
the OS you are running .

So first check what OS you run on all DB and Fileserver , and then we can 
see what should be the next steps .

Sven

&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; Thanks for your replies. I have created a new partition
and am trying to<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; copy over the old one with vos move but get the following
error:<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; # vos move -id 536870987 -fromserver hostA -frompartition
/vicepa <br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; -toserver hostA -topartition /vicepd<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; Could not lock entry for volume 536870987<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; &nbsp; u: no quorum elected<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; Does anyone know what that means?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;If you have multiple DB-Servers, you need to upgrade to 1.2.11
since<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;there is a bug which prevents the DB-Servers from synchronizing
from<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;each other after 2004-01-09 or so.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; I really wish there was another way! How do I check which version
of AFS is <br>
&gt; &gt; installed? I tried :<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Didn't you install it yourself? What platform are you running on?
Where<br>
&gt; did you get your AFS servers from?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; # rxdebug rsl155 7001 -version<br>
&gt; &gt; Trying 161.2.249.91 (port 7001):<br>
&gt; &gt; AFS version: Base configuration afs3.5 3.60<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; but that looks wrong to me.<br>
&gt; &gt; Assuming I upgrade, is it just as simple as doing a make install,
or have I <br>
&gt; &gt; got to go and do all my configuration over again?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Configuration should not get lost if you upgrade - you basically only<br>
&gt; need to replace the server binaries.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; HTH! Tino.<br>
