Hello,

I have a problem with an AFS cell where the root.afs and root.cell 
volumes appear
to reference non-existent read only volumes.

vos examine root.afs yields :
 >  root.afs                          536870912 RW         21 K  On-line
 >      testafs01.bnl.gov /vicepa
 >      RWrite  536870912 ROnly  536870921 Backup  536871046

Note that the 3rd line says "ROnly 536870921" but the 11th line does not 
mention a read only volume.

Running "vos examine 536870921" yields:

 >  Volume 536870921 does not exist in VLDB
 > 
 >  Dump only information from VLDB
 > 
 >  root.afs
 >      RWrite: 536870912     Backup: 536871046
 >        number of sites -> 1
 >        server testafs01.bnl.gov partition /vicepa RW Site

vos examine of root.cell yields similar problems.

Is there a way to recover from this state ?

Thanks.
