Actually here's what I see when I do a "vos listvol" on the server

**** Could not attach volume 536871608 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871605 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871599 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871590 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871587 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871572 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871569 ****
**** Could not attach volume 536871521 ****

According to the windos version of the "AFS Manager" all the volumes have 0mb
quota and 0Mb in use.

thanks,

Ron
