[OpenAFS] can't get volumes online

[Stephan Wiesand]

Dear All,

we had hardware troubles with a SCSI device hosting a vice partition this 
afternoon. After resetting the device and the fileserver, we ran the bos 
salvage on the partition.

For some 25 volumes, the salvager complained about problems with the
header structure and renamed them to "bogus.<numeric ID> and left them 
offline:

  ...
  Salvaged bogus.536883946 (536883946): 449 files, 1000045 blocks

We tried dumping and restoring those to different volumes: They're still 
offline. We tried running the salvager on the new volumes again, but

  STARTING AFS SALVAGER 2.4 (/usr/afs/bin/salvager -part /vicepd -volumeid
  536883946 -showlog)
  SALVAGING VOLUME 536883946.
  xxx.yyy.zzz (536883946) not updated (created 02/11/2005 18:35)
  Salvaged xxx.yyy.zzz (536883946): 449 files, 1000045 blocks

and the volume's still offline.

Any ideas? Or do we have to assume that these volumes were corrupted to 
the point where recovery is completely impossible?

Please CC: me in your answers, I subscribed the digest only.

Thanks a lot for any hints,
