[OpenAFS-devel] vos dump busying out the volume while dumping...

[Neulinger, Nathan]

That's the 'vos merge' problem. Would only have a single copy so long as
they were all clones on the original server, but once you put it on a
separate server, or move the volume after the original clone is created,
there's no real way to keep it that way without merging things back
together.=20
