Due to some screwing around which is in the category of "Kids, don't try this at home ... in fact, don't try this under the supervision of a professional with an ambulance on call", I managed to trash my V*DBs _and_ the text files (volutil really ought to make backups...).
I was able to recover what matters from the server, and after repeated cycles of volutil makev*db; volutil updatedb I'm running again. Moral: keep fresh backups of /vice/db/VRList and /vice/vol/BigVolumeList. Weirdness: "volutil lookup coda:root.0 /tmp/info" puts the expected info in the file, "volutil lookup 100001 /tmp/info" does not, although both name and hex ID work for all the other volumes I've tried. Question: /vice/srv/SrvLog has the following in it. Is this a problem? What can I do to clean out the logs? I should note that this is one of the two volumes that causes the most conflicts for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23:30:16 Entering DCC(0x1000005) 23:30:17 DCC: Salvaging Logs for volume 0x1000005 23:30:17 recov_vol_log::SalvageLog: bitmaps are not equal 23:30:17 Log rec at index 335 is unreachable **Server: 0x829e626d StoreId: 0x38fcb8a8.2de0 Directory(0x2711.1080e) Opcode: Mkdir index is 335, sequence number 59242, var length is 17 .
