[OpenAFS] openafs addsite on the same machine, different parition, problem

[Jan Krcmar]

hi,

i've got following configuration:
# rxdebug afs1 -version
Trying 192.168.2.100 (port 7000):
AFS version:  OpenAFS 1.4.14 built  2011-03-29

192.168.2.100 afs1(ptserver, vlserver, fileserver) /vicepa, /vicepb
192.168.2.101 afs2 (fileserver) /vicepa

running Debian GNU/Linux 6.0, openafs from squeeze-backports

i'm trying to create rw volume on afs1:vicepa and ro volume on afs1:vicepb
the following problem occurs:

debian6:~# vos cr afs1 a test -v

doing 'addsite' on the same partition (afs1:a) works fine
doing 'addsite' on the afs2:vicepa machine works fine

anyone has some advice how to make it real?

any hints are appreciated
thanks
