[OpenAFS] help, salvaged volume won't come back online, is it corrupt? [trimmed log]

[Adam Megacz]

Well, this is it, the day I'd always feared...

Server is running openafs-1.4.1.  I did a "vos remove" on
root.cell.backup and suddenly couldn't access root.cell.  Shut down
the fileserver, started it back up, and not it can't attach:

  $ vos examine 536870912
  **** Could not attach volume 536870912 ****

      RWrite: 536870912     Backup: 536870914 
      number of sites -> 1
         server research.CS.Berkeley.EDU partition /vicepa RW Site 


Everything for this cell is in one 3.3gb volume (root.cell); I hadn't
yet gotten around to splitting it out into separate volumes.

Help!  Is there any way to get 'bos salvage' to make the volume
attachable?  Or in any other way recover the files or some subset
thereof?

The good news is that 'du -chs' of /vicepa gives exactly the right
size (to within a few meg), so maybe I have reason to hope that my
data is still there somewhere...

SalvageLog (below) looks like it's stopping at /atmelx and getting
upset.  I'm quite happy to nuke that directory since it hasn't changed
since the last dump.  But other very, very important stuff has changed.

Help!
