[OpenAFS] Corrupt volume

[Lars Delhage]

Hi,

I have had a problem for a long time in that I have not been able to do
vos backup on my home volume. The error message I got was something like
"Invalid cross-device link". I've tried to do a vos remove and vos zap
of the backup volume and the recreate it, but the problem still remains.

Today I tried by removing the volume header file (for the backup volume)
in /vicepa which resulted in that the RW-volume became corrupt. Now when
I do a bos salvage I get an output like this:

....

directory not found
02/07/2002 20:04:04 Found 61137 orphaned files and directories (approx.

02/07/2002 20:04:04 Salvaged home.lasse (536871052): 61137 files,
1196834 blocks

Now the question is, what is this root directory it complains about. Is
there anyway to save the data in this volume or is all lost?

Cheers,

Lars
