[OpenAFS] AFS Fileserver Won't Start --> Can't Release root.cell or root.afs

[Karl M. Davis]

Well, after rebooting again, things suddenly seem to be working.  No idea
why...

I still have some problems with making RO copies of root.cell and root.afs,
though.  Running "vos release" gives me:
<<
karl@picacho:~$ vos release -id root.cell
Failed to start a transaction on the RO volume.
VOLSER: volume is busy
The volume 536870918 could not be released to the following 1 sites:
               picacho.ridgetop-group.local /vicepa
VOLSER: release could not be completed
Error in vos release command.

karl@picacho:~$ vos release -id root.afs

VOLSER: release could not be completed
Error in vos release command.

And in /var/log/openafs/VolserLog, there's this:
<<

volume 536870916

Before I get myself into trouble again with wild guessing, does anyone know
how I'm SUPPOSED to fix this?

Thanks!
Karl

Found the sysid file, removed it, and rebooted.  Still have the same
problems, though.

Where might other entries be and how should I go about clearing them up?

Thanks,
Karl

I think you have to eliminate everything that resolves
127.something to picacho and the other way around. If you
have managed to get 127.something into your volume database,
all strange things may happen at once.

Volumes located on 127.0.0.1 are perfectly fine accessible
from 127.0.0.1 but of course from nowhere else.

You may need to start over by deleting your sysid file.

Harald.
