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

[Derrick Brashear]

Ah. Yup. Something like this:

     UserId author;             /* Userid of the last user storing the file */
     UserId owner;              /* Userid of the user who created the file */
     VnodeId parent;            /* Parent directory vnode */
-    bit32 vnodeMagic;          /* Magic number--mainly for file server
+    bit16 vnodeMagic;          /* Magic number--mainly for file server
                                 * paranoia checks */
-#   define       SMALLVNODEMAGIC       0xda8c041F
+#   define       SMALLVNODEMAGIC       0xda8c
 #   define       LARGEVNODEMAGIC       0xad8765fe
     /* Vnode magic can be removed, someday, if we run need the room.  Simply
      * have to be sure that the thing we replace can be VNODEMAGIC, rather
      * than 0 (in an old file system).  Or go through and zero the fields,
      * when we notice a version change (the index version number) */
+       unsigned int    isMigrated:1;
+       unsigned int    rsvd7:1;
+       unsigned int    serverUseDay:14;
     ViceLock lock;             /* Advisory lock */
     Date serverModifyTime;     /* Used only by the server; for incremental
                                 * backup purposes */

So what's required is either to patch your 1.6 to be special, or
migrate the volumes using vos move instead
of relying on the data format on disk being the same (which it isn't)
