We recently lost a partition on one of our servers and restored from tape.
The volumes were all recovered, but when we did a vos exam on any of the
restored volumes, it would have 2 identical entries in the vldb:
number of sites -> 2
server afsfs10.cl.msu.edu partition /vicepa RW Site
server afsfs10.cl.msu.edu partition /vicepa RW Site
After moving the volume:
number of sites -> 2
server afsfs5.cl.msu.edu partition /vicepa RW Site
server afsfs10.cl.msu.edu partition /vicepa RW Site
We moved all of the volumes off of that partition, so now they all look like
above. A vos listvol of afsfs10 vicepa returns 0 volumes, but a vos
listvldb returns all 1989 of them. We then tried to do a vos syncvldb
with a volume. It reports that it has been synced, but there are still 2
entries in the vldb. We have also tried vos syncserv with the whole
partition with the same result.
We have also tried to manually remove an entry from the vldb using vos
delentry, but you cannot specify a server/partition AND a volume. A vos
delentry on the volume removed both entries from the vldb.
All volumes are accessible via their mount points.
Any ideas on how to remedy the vldb discrepancy?
Thanks,
-Jeff Quinn
