Hello all,
I have a volume that had a replica, which has now been removed with vos
remsite. I had made a mistake with the server directive originally, and I
attempted to correct the error midstream... ultimately, the RO volume
seemed to release. However, last night the RW volume went offline, as well
as the RO volume.
Now, this is a reproducible volume, so I -could- delete it and start over,
no problem.. but I would really like to know why, now that I have removed
the RO copy, the salvage operation will not bring the volume back online.
This is the third time I am salvaging the volume, the first two done due to
some information I read about doing double salvage in order to get rid of
bad RO volumes. That did happen, by the way, as you can see below. the *06
header file was the file for the RO site.
Here is the Salvagelog of the second salvage attempt:

and here is the vos listvldb output:
user.snap
RWrite: 536870935
number of sites -> 1
server afs-db.foo.com partition /vicepb RW Site -- New release
The rest of the volumes have no "release" notation on them for the RW sites.
Any pointers?
