[OpenAFS] Salvaging an RO-Volume

[Frank Burkhardt]

Hi,

a broken RO-volume resides on one of my fileserver:

 $ vos listvol [fileserver] a
 [...]
 **** Could not attach volume 536877628 ****
 
 Total volumes onLine 352 ; Total volumes offLine 1 ; Total busy 0


I don't need it, so I want to remove it:

 # vos remove [heilbutt] a 536877628

 Transaction on volume 536877628 failed
    Volume needs to be salvaged


    Volume needs to be salvaged
 Error in vos remove command.
 Volume needs to be salvaged

Ok - let's salvage it:

 # bos salvage [fileserver] a 536877628 -showlog
 Starting salvage.
 bos: salvage completed
 SalvageLog:
 @(#) OpenAFS 1.4.4 built  2007-04-23
 06/13/2007 09:10:23 STARTING AFS SALVAGER 2.4 (/usr/lib/openafs/salvager /vicepa 536877628)
 06/13/2007 09:10:23 536877628 is a read-only volume; not salvaged

That doesn't work :-( . What is the best way to handle this?

Regards,

Frank
