To re-phrase your steps...in the most general way:

1)=A0 You make your /vicepa partition on the server you are setting up, jus=
t like the way you would make any unix partition on the system.

2) You use the 'vos create' command on that same server in order to create =
a the AFS volume with the name "root.afs". It will be a small volume. It wi=
ll reside on your new "/vicepa" partition that you created in step 1 above.

That's the general idea for creating the initial AFS volume on an initial A=
FS server you are setting up for the first time....once you have a function=
ing cell, it all gets easier....8-)

Hi,

Im trying to understand the functioning of the AFS protocol and so I'm tryi=
ng to set up an AFS client and server machine inside our lab. One of the st=
eps require us to setup the afs root partition using the "vos create" comma=
nd.

I have setup a partition at /viceaa and then issued the command

$vos create <machine_name> /viceaa root.afs -cell <cellname> -noauth
vos: could not interpret partition name '/viceaa'

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sriram
