This is a broken situation:   you can have replicas of a volume on
different servers, but not on different partitions of the same server.
 This is why you're getting the error messages you reported.

Figure out which one of these is the correct volume; then I think you "vos
zap" the other and then resync the VLDB.

FileLog on the server has these errors:
