  Well if it says there is no /vicepa partition, then there isn't as far as the
afs server on morley is concerned.  So you should do a
"bos status morley.stimble.net"  And should get something like this:

Instance fs, currently running normally.
    Auxiliary status is: file server running.

  And if you do, then do a "vos partinfo morley.stimble.net" and you should see
/vicepa listed.  If the first fails, then you don't have the fs started.  If
the second fails, then you probably mounted /vicepa after the fileserver
started.  So you should restart the fs process...and figure out why it wasn't
mounted first.

Hope this helps,
  Tim
