[OpenAFS] errors moving volumes

[Maurizio Santini]

Thank you Jeffrey for your answer,

Moving a volume from the 100% full partition to another partition within
the same server let me then move a volume from the server with the full
partition to another. Don't know why it worked though.

BTW is the -live switch related to openafs 1.3.87?
