[OpenAFS] 1.6.1a migration from 1.4: corrupted and offline volumes

[Jakub Moscicki]

Hello,

I just tried to deploy 1.6.1a on linux, migrating from 1.4 server. I 
compiled from tar.gz sources and copied executables to /usr/afs/bin

This operation has put all my volumes offline with the following FileLog 
entries:

Wed Sep 19 13:54:48 2012 GetBitmap: addled vnode index in volume 
q.afs.st.afs211.fb.1; volume needs salvage
Wed Sep 19 13:54:48 2012 VAttachVolume: error getting bitmap for volume 
(/vicepfb/V1934450230.vol)
Wed Sep 19 13:54:48 2012 ReadHeader: Failed to open volume info header 
file (volume=1934450242, inode=8308400533853437951); errno=2
Wed Sep 19 13:54:48 2012 VAttachVolume: Error reading diskDataHandle 
header for vol 1934450244; error=101
Wed Sep 19 13:54:48 2012 VAttachVolume: Error attaching volume 
/vicepfb/V1934450244.vol; volume needs salvage; error=101

I then tried to salvage one of the volumes with the following salvager 
errors:

09/19/2012 13:34:10 SYNC_ask: negative response on circuit 'FSSYNC'
09/19/2012 13:34:10 FSYNC_askfs: FSSYNC request denied for reason=101
09/19/2012 13:34:10 AskOnline:  file server denied online request to 
volume 1934450244 partition /vicepfb; trying again...

Finally another salvage attempt on the same volume corrupted it and left 
it at 0KB:

09/19/2012 13:56:14 The volume header file /vicepfb/V1934450244.vol is 
not associated with any actual data (deleted)

Is there some special procedure to be applied for the migration?

Many thanks,
