[OpenAFS] volume disappeared

  Well hopefully that is supposed to be "-server". ;)  But I would try this
command:

bos salvage -server myserver -partition /vicepa -volume user.yumiceva -salvagedirs -orphans remove

  That's the command I normally use.  BUT...looking at what you've shown, it
looks like the volume is online, so it's probably not bad.  It will normally
take a volume off-line if it needs salvaged.  I'm guessing that VI 536870923 is
the backup volume of the user.  That should not affect accessing the actual
volume.  What error messages are you getting when you try to access the volume?
I'm assuming it's mounted and you're trying to cd into it when you get these
errors?

  As for the backup, if you'd like to fix that, here's the way I always use,
which works as well as any other.  Just log into myserver as root, and cd to
the partition that the volume is on, and do an "rm V0536870923.vol".  Make sure
that volume's there first of course(and make sure you have the right volumeid
;).  Once you've done that, then you can just do a vos backup user.yumiceva.

I hope this helps you some, if not, try answering my above questions and
sending back to the list.

Thanks,
  Tim
