Hi the list,

I'm testing OpenAFS with MacOSX 10.5.8 and OpenAFS 1.5.73.

Here setup of my cell :
I started to configure my first server. It hosts now  several volumes 
with some  data.
All was looking to run fine.
Then i configured a second host. This host was added in the cell, only 
fs service was created.
I tested to create a voluem one the second host with success. I was able 
to get information from the 1st host about the 2rd host.
All was looking to run fine.

Then i added a site to be able to have a RO copy of my data hosted in 2 
volumes  by my 1st server.
Then i used the vos release command to sync the data.
All looked to running fine. The vos release command returned this kind 
of following output :

Released volume 536870918 successfully

But since this action all volumes i released are broken and offline. The 
vos listvol command give this message about the released volumes :

Could not attach volume 536870918

I can't access to data. In the VolserLog file i have this log :

But after a vos salvage data are back. I'm not sure all data but at least some data. It is just a volume used for tests. 

What happened ?
