[OpenAFS] Cannot move volumes between two fileservers

[Peter Schmid]

We are using two OpenAFS server: homer is a solaris 9 machine, willie
is a GNU/Linux box. They are connected over a 2 Mb/s leased line. We use
on both of them OpenAFS 1.2.11.

I tried to move a volume from homer to willie, but that did not
work (I can move volumes within the servers):

# vos move -id user.babt -fromserver homer -frompartition /vicepd -toserver willie -topartition /vicepa -verbose
Starting transaction on source volume 536878191 ... done
Cloning source volume 536878191 ... done
Ending the transaction on the source volume 536878191 ... done

Creating the destination volume 536878191 ... done
Dumping from clone 536878279 on source to volume 536878191 on destination ...Failed to move data for the volume 536878191
   VOLSER: Problems encountered in doing the dump !
vos move: operation interrupted, cleanup in progress...
clear transaction contexts
access VLDB
move incomplete - attempt cleanup of target partition - no guarantee
cleanup complete - user verify desired result

It seems there is something wrong with the synchronisation (Ubik). The
"Recovery state" is "f" and not "1f". Why willie never votes?
