[OpenAFS] vos: syncvldb --- Warning: Orphaned RW Volume

[Ken Aaker]

I've just put up a new file server (my first additional file server, 
setup as a "simple" file server). I was
 merrily moving volumes onto the new file server when the new machine 
crashed.
 (Due to a disagreement between two hard drives on the same cable, which 
I remedied.).
 Now, I can't seem to get the two servers to agree about the volumes on 
the new server any longer....

I did a bos salvage on the partition, and then tried a  vos syncvldb 
"new-server", and got the following
 output. If I run the command again I get the same output, ad 
infinitum... But the volumes are all
 online and accessable.

====================================================================================

 From reading the man page on vos syncvldb, I would have expected the 
syncvldb to have resolved the
disagreement between the volume labels in the /vicepa partition and the 
vldb. That doesn't seem to be
happening.

One additional thing that I did find was that there was nothing in 
endar:/usr/afs/db. Is that normal? Is
the one and only vldb kept on the primary server?

Could anyone give me a lead about what's going on, and maybe how to fix it.
