[OpenAFS] missing mount point RO volumes

[Anne.Salemme@Dartmouth.edu]

the most likely thing would be, ummm, operator error...

- remove link and do vos release
- go ooops, webserver needs that link, put back the link
- forget to do vos release

it can happen...

> We were getting a time out from our web servers when they tried to access

> directory was gone at the two RO sites.  I looked at the RW volume and it
> needed a vos release.  That cured the mount point problem and the web
> servers resumed normal operation.

> My questions:
> What could have caused the RO volumes to become unmounted?
> If the RO volumes are inaccessible, doesn't the RW volume become the
> failover site?
> What can I do to prevent this in the future?
