Hi,

after rebooting one of my fileservers one of the volumes (c.movies.6)
stored on it refuses to become online:

# vos listvol ori a
Total number of volumes on server ori partition /vicepa: 6
...
c.movies.6                        536871829 RW    9713440 K Off-line
...
Total volumes onLine 5 ; Total volumes offLine 1 ; Total busy 0

I repeatedly (> 4x) tried to salvage the volume and the whole partition.
Here are some logfiles:

I even dumped and restored the volume - no effect: the new volume stays offline.
Is there a chance to get the files on this volume back?
Is there a tool to extract files out of a file created with 'vos dump'?

Oh, i nearly forgot: openafs version is 1.2.10 on all servers. Only linux is used.
