[OpenAFS] Solaris 10 inode server

[Daniel A Beller]

Greetings,

Would like to add more detail to John Boyland's post regarding our server
jeremiah.

Server is Sun v20z running solaris 10 x86 (hardware mirrored
local disks) connected to Sun 3510 fiber channel array (4x143 Gbyte disks
RAID 5 + 1 hot spare) for /vicepa partition. Are trying to use binaries
version 1.4.1 downloaded from openafs.org

Here's a summary of what's been done and is happening:

1) Modified /sbin/mountall and /usr/lib/fs/afs/fsckall appropriately
2) Created fs on RAID using mkfs -F asf and additional parameters from
solaris newfs -v 
3) Reboot machine, vfsck (1.4.1) reports partion clean. Can create files
on partition (touch, cp, ...)
4) Clear all previous attempts to create volumes and check

jeremiah# vos listvol localhost
Total number of volumes on server localhost partition /vicepa: 0 

Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0

5) Attempt to create volume on jeremiah:

jeremiah# vos create jeremiah /vicepa test01 -maxquota 5000 -verbose

Could not change quota (error 3), continuing...
   : No such file or directory
Volume test01 536872830 created and brought online
Created the VLDB entry for the volume test01 536872830
Failed to end the transaction on the volume test01 536872830
: No such file or directory
Error in vos create command.
: No such file or directory

6) Listing of vicepa partion is:

jeremiah# ls -l /vicepa
total 18
drwx------   2 root     root        8192 May 31 15:12 lost+found
-rw-------   1 root     root          76 Jun  1 08:21 V0536872830.vol
