We are updating our very old AFS servers and chose to create new, updated systems then migrate all the volumes over and eventually just turn the older ones off.
We've moved everything but the root.cell volumes. We have one RW root.cell on an older server and would like to have a RW root.cell on a new server before turning the older one off. My co-worker gave this a try and it allowed her to run 'vos addsite' but did not allow her to 'vos release' the new RW root.cell. She got this error: root@afs-vmc 2019-March]# vos addsite afs-vmc.psc.edu /vicepga root.cell -localauth Added replication site afs-vmc.psc.edu /vicepga for volume root.cell [root@afs-vmc 2019-March]# vos release root.cell -localauth Failed to clone the volume 537176384 : Invalid cross-device link Error in vos release command. Clone volume is not in the same partition as the read-write volume.  Has anyone else tried this type of upgrade? Are there any docs specific to this? Thanks in advance, Susan Litzinger PSC
