I'm having trouble with "vos create" on a fiber attached 
storage unit.  I believe it's an EMC something-or-other, 
but I'm not sure.  

I was just given device labels.

I set up a test cell a few months ago with native disks.. 
no problem.

bash-2.03# ./vos create  <server> /vicepa root.afs -cell <cell> -noauth
Failed to create the volume root.afs 536870930
: I/O error
Error in vos create command.
: I/O error

Looks like it tries twice, so I get this in VolserLog:

bash-2.03# more VolserLog

Any thoughts?
