[OpenAFS] how to delete a volume

[Derek Atkins]

"listvol" lists the volumes off of a server -- it contacts the server
and asks it to list the volumes it has.  It doesn't touch the vldb.
You can use "vos examine" to query the vldb (or vos listvldb for much
longer information).

What this error set means is that the volume is on your server but not
in your vldb.  If you really really don't want this you can use "vos
zap" to get rid of this volume (be careful -- "vos zap" is not to be
used lightly).  Your other option is to "vos syncvldb" to sync the
vldb to the contents of the server -- and then you should be able to
"vos remove" the file.
