[OpenAFS] Re: Can't create volume on Solaris 10

[Daniel Debertin]

Hi,

Okay, I'm back on openafs-1.4.7 after having been informed that 1.5 is
not for production use. I have the same problem, though:

afs0# vos create afs0 /vicepa root.afs -cell msi_afs -noauth

Could not change quota, continuing...
   : No such file or directory
Failed to end the transaction on the volume root.afs 536870912
: No such file or directory
Error in vos create command.
: No such file or directory



'vos examine' output:
afs0# vos examine root.afs -noauth
**** Could not attach volume 536870912 ****

    RWrite: 536870912 
    number of sites -> 1
       server afs0.msi.umn.edu partition /vicepa RW Site 

So there's a volume there, but it can't be attached for some reason.

And this is the output from 'vos setfields':
SetVolumeInfo: TransCreate Failed
Could not update volume info fields for volume number 536870912

VolserLog is the only logfile that contains errors:

Mon Aug 11 15:19:48 2008 Unable to connect to file server; will retry at need
Mon Aug 11 15:19:48 2008 Starting AFS Volserver 2.0 (/usr/afs/bin/volserver)

Mon Aug 11 15:27:40 2008 VAttachVolume: Error reading volume header /vicepa/V0536870912.vol

The fileserver is running, though, and listening at UDP port 7000
according to netstat.

The fileserver log also contains this interesting tidbit:

Mon Aug 11 15:19:48 2008 Partition /vicepa: attaching volumes
Mon Aug 11 15:19:48 2008 Partition /vicepa: attached 0 volumes; 0 volumes not attached

Any ideas? Please let me know if you need more information.
