[OpenAFS] vos move volume failure.

[Ken Aaker]

I've been having a terrible time trying to move a volume back onto a
server that I moved it off of.

I've been messing with it for a couple days now, and I can't seem to get
around the problem.
I'll set up to the next version shortly, but I haven't yet.

The -fromserver is an AFS 1.4.1 server running SuSE 10.1 and the
-toserver is an AFS 1.4.1
server running on SuSE 9.0.

I had to move everything off the 9.0 server because the raid array had
dropped one drive
and a second one was shakey. Once I got that sorted out, I started
trying to move
some of the volumes back onto the machine. I didn't scratch and reformat
the /vicepa
partition, but the only volumes left on it were RO releases of root.cell
and root.afs.

This is the output from vos listvol before I try to move the volume.
I've masked part of
the names with #
---------------------------------------
vos listvol endar -localauth -verbose
Total number of volumes on server endar partition /vicepa: 12

I think the problem has something to do with something that shows up
when I salvage the partition.  I've tried getting rid of the
bogus.536870930 volume with vos remove and vos zap, and it always comes
back after a salvage.
