It's not fixed in 1.5.55, and while the DAFS changes caused it it happens in
the non-DAFS case also ATM.

Hi Bryn,<br>
<br>
Is this a DAFS file server? &nbsp;If so, then probably a known behavior, although I&#39;m not certain it should be seen in 1.5.55 (Tom?) &nbsp; As you imply, the volume can in that case be salvaged and then brought on-line (bos salvage -forceDAFS).</blockquote>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve compiled OpenAFS 1.5.55 to debs to check out the read/write<br>
disconnected operation stuff, and I&#39;m getting errors on various volume<br>
operations.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
bryn@ubuntu-dfs:~$ vos create <a href="http://ubuntu-dfs.hostname.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-dfs.hostname.com</a> /vicepa root.cell<br>
-cell <a href="http://hostname.com" target="_blank">hostname.com</a><br>
<br>
Failed to end the transaction on the volume root.cell 536870918<br>
Possible communication failure<br>
Error in vos create command.<br>
Possible communication failure<br>
<br>
The new volume needs to be salvaged before anything can be done with it.<br>
I get a similar error on releasing a volume. <br>
What could possibly be causing this problem? Is it merely a known,<br>
in-development bug? <br>
Regards,<br>
Bryn Divey<br>
