[OpenAFS] Unusable empty partition

[Hans-Gunther Borrmann]

Hello,

I have one partition on a server, which is empty:
Total number of volumes on server localhost partition /vicepcy: 0 
Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0

But I cannot move any volumes to this partition:
me@somehost:~> vos move www.natscan.kirsche7 servera by serverb cy -verbose
Starting transaction on source volume 537085072 ... done
Cloning source volume 537085072 ... done
Ending the transaction on the source volume 537085072 ... done
Starting transaction on the cloned volume 537091168 ... done
Creating the destination volume 537085072 ... done
Dumping from clone 537091168 on source to volume 537085072 on 
destination ...Failed to move data for the volume 537085072
   VOLSER: Problems encountered in doing the dump !
vos move: operation interrupted, cleanup in progress...
clear transaction contexts
access VLDB
move incomplete - attempt cleanup of target partition - no guarantee
cleanup complete - user verify desired result

The VolserLog shows:
Wed Jun  1 10:18:03 2005 VAttachVolume: Failed to open /vicepcy/V0537085072.vl 
(errno 2)
Wed Jun  1 10:18:03 2005 1 Volser: CreateVolume: volume 537085072 
(www.natscan.kirsche7) created
unable to allocate inode: File exists
Wed Jun  1 10:18:03 2005 1 Volser: ReadVnodes: Restore aborted
Wed Jun  1 10:18:03 2005 1 Volser: Delete: volume 537085072 deleted

and "df -k" gives:

[met@somehost:logs]# df -k /vicepcy
Filesystem    1024-blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/vicepcy    262144000 202566836   23%     2191     1% /vicepcy

which means that about 60 GB are occupied.
What to do? The server is a namei server. My idea is therefore to simply 
remove all files and directories except 
./lost+found
./Lock
./Lock/vicepcy
./AFSIDat
./AFSIDat/README

Will this be safe?
