Hi--

A similar question has been asked on the list before (May 2001, Feb 2002) 
with no resolution; I thought I'd ask one more time prior to giving up:

I have a volume which upon accessing the mountpoint, gives:
% cd foo
ksh: cd: /u/t/i/timc/foo - No such file or directory
% fs lsm foo
'foo' is a mount point for volume '#p.test.nobak3g'

Output from the salvager:

% /usr/bin/bos salvage davish a p.test.nobak3g -showlog -orphans attach

Anyone have ideas for addressing the "Root directory not found" message?

The volume resides on a sol 8 transarc AFS fileserver, but the same
results are found when the volume has been moved to an OpenAFS fileserver.

Thanks--
