RELNOTES-1.2.11 mentions another bug having been fixed:

- A bug where replicating volumes on systems with namei fileservers
  could result in an empty volume was fixed.

Can anyone tell a bit more about this bug? I have never seen it until today, after installing the OpenAFS 1.2.11 database server binaries, but still running the OpenAFS 1.2.10 filserver and volserver binaries. In that stage, I created a new volume to hold all the OpenAFS 1.2.11 stuff. The release seemed to work, but hours later I found that machines trying to get the data from a replica found no data at all until I did a 'vos release -f'.

Am I in danger to have existing replicas corrupted before I get to restarting my fs processes to activate the OpenAFS 1.2.11 binaries? Or is this a bug that affects only new volumes? Should I do a 'vos release -f' on all volumes just to be safe? This would take ages, of course.
