[OpenAFS] Duplicate special inodes in volume header

[Martin Schulz]

Hello, 

I just realized that there must be some sincere damage in my AFS...
there's something wrong with the root.afs. 

When I try to salvage, the SalvageLog says:

The read only copy still works fine (that's why I did not discover it
any earlier). But I cannot access the RW of those (I actually have
three of those candidates) volumes, so I cannot rmmount the other
volumes in them or the like. 

Any hints how to resolve?  

Is there any way to copy the "RO" over the "RW" to get a working RW
volume again?

What are these "special inodes?"

Any hints greatly appreaciated,
