I was in the process of performing a vos release when I realized that one of the machines I was releasing to was off. So, I hit ctrl-C. Now AFS seems to be in an unhappy state.

Partial release. Not unusual.

medula.ho.in.athenacr.com is the machine that was off when I started
the release command.  A subsequent vos release complained that the
vldb entry was locked, so I decided to use the vos unlock command, to
no avail.

It now does this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bb $ vos release bbinstall
Old clone is inaccessible. Try vos release -f 536940361.
VOLSER: no such volume - location specified incorrectly or volume does
not exist
Error in vos release command.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bb $ vos release -f 536940361
Failed to reclone the RW volume 536940361

Wait for the volserver transaction to time out or kill (by hand, not with bos) the volserver on the (probably rw host).... but don't kill if if vos status (hostname of rw site) shows anything other than the one orphaned release.
