[OpenAFS] Locked Volume
Hi I don't normally make requests of the lists but my colleague (Owen leBlanc) is on leave. I have a volume that has become locked. I'm not certain of the reason for this or even how to trace the problem. There are actually 2 locked volumes volume.name and volume.name.readonly. There is a cron job that usually runs to releases the read/write to the read only (I've paused this for the time being) I realise that I can issue vos unlock -id volume.name BUT, I am unsure if there are any potential problems that this could cause. Can anyone offer any advice?

Can anyone offer any advice? In this case I normally do an 'vos examine' for the volume and then e 'vos status ' for the fileserver vos exameine showed me that the RW-volume lives on. If that server doesn't show any activity on behalf of the volume I think it's save to unlock the volume. Such a situation may be caused by a volserver crash or a killed vos command or a network outage during a vos command.
