[OpenAFS] Invalid cross-device link

[Stefan Strandberg]

Hi,

1.4.11 isn't really doable until it's at least in lenny-backports as we
don't want to roll our own versions of this.

As for a stale replica existing, I may be misunderstanding.  If you're
saying that it's a replica of that volume, I don't see how that's the
case.

Here's the creation and subsequent release attempt for a brand new
volume:

stefan@cog ~ $ vos create beth a foo.bar
Volume 536885610 created on partition /vicepa of beth
stefan@cog ~ $ vos addsite beth b foo.bar
Added replication site beth /vicepb for volume foo.bar
stefan@cog ~ $ vos rel -v foo.bar

foo.bar=20
    RWrite: 536885610=20
    number of sites -> 2
       server beth.cae.wisc.edu partition /vicepa RW Site=20
       server beth.cae.wisc.edu partition /vicepb RO Site  -- Not release=
d
This is a complete release of volume 536885610
Cloning RW volume 536885610 to temporary RO... done

The volume 536885610 could not be released to the following 1 sites:

VOLSER: release could not be completed
Error in vos release command.
VOLSER: release could not be completed

And here's the VolserLog output:

r) created
Thu Aug 20 09:15:24 2009 1 Volser: Clone: Cloning volume 536885610 to new=

ume; aborted, error code 18
Thu Aug 20 09:15:24 2009 : Invalid cross-device link

Turning up debugging doesn't show any extra anything really.

Thanks again,
