[OpenAFS] can't force deletion of off-line volume

[Wes Chow]

I'm having problems with a volume that isn't in the VLDB, but shows up
off line with "vos listvol":

hippo:~# vos listvol hippo /vicepb | grep 20040102
datafiles.20040102                536937070 RW    5688181 K Off-line

hippo:~# vos online hippo /vicepb datafiles.20040102
VLDB: no such entry

hippo:~# vos listvldb datafiles.20040102
VLDB: no such entry

hippo:~# vos remove hippo /vicepb datafiles.20040102
Can't find volume name 'datafiles.20040102' in VLDB
VLDB: no such entry

hippo:~# vos zap hippo /vicepb datafiles.20040102
VLDB: no such entry



If my understanding is correct, the volume still exists on the server
but isn't in the VLDB.  The "vos zap" command is supposed to delete
volumes off a server without consulting the VLDB.  However, it seems
as if the zap command is trying to access the VLDB?

I've also run both "vos syncvldb" and "vos syncserv", but I haven't
been able to get that volume back into a useable state.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Wes
