[OpenAFS] can not attach to a read only volume

[T. Matthew Cocker]

Hi Derek

I tried to vos zap the volume but no luck (see output below). I also tried 
to force the vos zap no luck either. Interesting there is no entries for 
the volume in the vldb. I was wondering if the -oktozap option in salvager 
may help me.


# vos zap -server afs-01 -partition /vicepa -id 536870916 -localauth -verbose
Warning: Entry for volume number 536870916 exists in VLDB (but we're 
zapping it anyway!)
Could not start transaction on volume 536870916
Volume needs to be salvaged
Error in vos zap command.

# vos zap -server afs-01 -partition /vicepa -id 536870916 -localauth 
-verbose -force
vos: forcibly removing all traces of volume 536870916, please wait...failed 
with code 2.


  #vos listvldb -server afs-01 -localauth | grep 536870916
  #vos listvldb -server afs-02 -localauth | grep 536870916
