Ok I tried that :

(here's what I tried)

[root@afs]# vos zap -server afs.depauw.edu -partition /vicepa -id 536871521
Could not start transaction on volume 536871521
Volume needs to be salvaged
Error in vos zap command.
Volume needs to be salvaged

then I tried this :

[root@afs]# vos zap -server afs.depauw.edu -partition /vicepa
   -id 536871521 -force

vos: forcibly removing all traces of volume 536871521, please wait...failed with
code 2.

thanks
