This indeed does the trick, thanks. (It's not built by default, but a
simple "cd src/vol; make vol-bless" does). The only remaining problem is
that the name of such a volume on the fileserver is still bogus.<ID>
while the VLDB still has the correct name. I tried to "vos syncserv",
but all I get is
-- status after --
**no change**

Is there another way of renaming volumes on the fileserver only?
