That's odd.  I'd do a 'vos examine root.afs' to verify the volume is
there and then a manual 'vos setfields' to set the quota if it's
present.  It looks like the volume may not have gotten created,
though.

If you have FileLog, VolserLog, and VLLog, those would be useful, as
they may contain some hints as to why the create failed.
