[aaronk@linux2:~ $ ] vos rename g.ilin22.local g.ilin22.local.tmp
Renamed volume g.ilin22.local to g.ilin22.local.tmp
[aaronk@linux2:~ $ ] vos delent g.ilin22.local
VLDB: no such entry
Deleted 0 VLDB entries
[aaronk@linux2:~ $ ] vos rename g.ilin22.local.tmp g.ilin22.local
Renamed volume g.ilin22.local.tmp to g.ilin22.local
sigh...the vldb clearly is unhappy. I'll send you a copy of the vldb.DB0
Thanks for your help
