[OpenAFS] no quorom elected again

[J S]

Hi,

I get the "no quorom elected" error when trying to create or move a volume 
on a new partition vicpe, I've just created.

# rxdebug -servers localhost -version
Trying 127.0.0.1 (port 7000):
AFS version: Base configuration afs3.5 3.60

# vos create -server rsl156 -partition /vicepe -name logs.sawmill
Could not get an Id for volume logs.sawmill
u: no quorum elected
Error in vos create command.
u: no quorum elected


# vos move -id logs.proxy -fromserver cspc1n11e -frompartition /vicepa 
-toserver localhost -topartition /vicepe
Could not lock entry for volume 536871060
   u: no quorum elected

The server processes look OK:

# ps -ef | grep server
    root  20366 544294   1 12:10:01  pts/4  0:00 grep server

One or two dubious messages in the logs but not sure if they indicate the 
error here:

I've checked the config files and they look OK too. Is there anything else I 
can try?
