[OpenAFS] replication question

[Walter Lamagna]

Here is more information, Server A is named "Turing" and has the
root.afs and root.cell RW volumes.  Server B is "Retro".

# vos examine root.afs
root.afs                          536870912 RW          4 K  On-line
    turing /vicepa 
    RWrite  536870912 ROnly  536870913 Backup          0 
    MaxQuota       5000 K
    Creation    Wed Nov 15 08:22:34 2006
    Copy        Wed Nov 15 08:22:34 2006
    Backup      Never
    Last Update Thu Nov 16 17:15:23 2006
    0 accesses in the past day (i.e., vnode references)

    RWrite: 536870912     ROnly: 536870913 
    number of sites -> 3
       server turing partition /vicepa RW Site 
       server turing partition /vicepa RO Site 
       server retro partition /vicepa RO Site
----------------
# vos examine root.cell
root.cell                         536870915 RW          4 K  On-line
    turing /vicepa 
    RWrite  536870915 ROnly  536870916 Backup          0 
    MaxQuota       5000 K 
    Creation    Wed Nov 15 08:50:28 2006
    Copy        Wed Nov 15 08:50:28 2006
    Backup      Never
    Last Update Fri Nov 17 14:51:17 2006
    34 accesses in the past day (i.e., vnode references)

    RWrite: 536870915     ROnly: 536870916 
    number of sites -> 3
       server turing partition /vicepa RW Site 
       server turing partition /vicepa RO Site 
       server retro partition /vicepa RO Site
-----------------

Another interesting data is that when Server A is down, in Server B i
can not access the RW partition, this happens:

[root@retro afs]# fs lq turing.com.ar/
Volume Name                   Quota      Used %Used   Partition
root.cell.readonly             5000         4    0%          3%  
[root@retro afs]# fs lq .turing.com.ar/
Volume Name                   Quota      Used %Used   Partition
fs: File '.turing.com.ar/' doesn't exist
-----------------

Any idea ?

Thanks very much
Walter
