Hi, I have this problem and found this old e-mail,
but not an answer :-/

Have anyone solfe this problem ?

When I want to create a volume i became this:

--------------
bash-2.05a# ./vos create idserv06 /vicepa root.afs -cell fhg-il -verbose
Failed to create the volume root.afs 536870942
: I/O error
Error in vos create command.
: I/O error
--------------

the /usr/afs/logs/VolserLog says:

----------------
