[OpenAFS] vos changeaddr -remove isnt removing an unreachable server

[Dexter "Kim" Kimball]

vos remsite will work indeed, assuming you're sure you have no useful data
remaining on the server you're removing from the cell.

In general, that means no RW volumes, and that each RO on the server to be
decomissioned is definitely available on at least one other server.

>From what I can gather from the discussion, your situation probably meets
both criteria.

But thought I'd point out the obvious, just in case.
