Hi

I am trying to retire an old server in which the raid died. I can not 
get rid of one vldb entry. The vicepa parttion was lost so the volume is 
gone. So far vos delentry, vos remove, vos syncserv and vos examine have 
all failed. Some output below

The OpenAFS version is 1.2.13 on all servers in cell. Anyone got some ideas?

Cheers

Matt
