Well, originally I thought too, but after I used gdb and it said the core
was generated by fileserver, I quit gdb session, run file(1) and it also
said filerserver. Can you explain why is it named volserver.fs then?

In my original post I had output from gdb as:

I don't see any errors in hosts file. Might this be a problem?

$ nslookup localhost
Server:  tao.natur.cuni.cz
Address:  195.113.56.1

Name:    localhost.natur.cuni.cz
Address:  127.0.0.1

$ nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server:  tao.natur.cuni.cz
Address:  195.113.56.1

Name:    localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

$

What are the other causes? I use afs3.6 2.32 from IBM.
