</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>vos lock</B> command locks the Volume Location Database (VLDB)
entry for the indicated volume, blocking any operation that requires a write
to that entry. The lock applies to all of the volume versions
associated with the entry, not just the one specified with the <B>-id</B>
argument.
<P>To unlock a single VLDB entry, use the <B>vos unlock</B>
command. To unlock several entries, or all locked entries in the VLDB,
use the <B>vos unlockvldb</B> command.
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
<P>Do not use this command in normal circumstances. It is useful for
guaranteeing that the volume stays unchanged when there is reason to believe
that volume operations cannot properly lock VLDB volume entries as they
normally do to synchronize with one another.
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<DL>
<P><DT><B>-id
</B><DD>Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of the
any of the three types.
<P><DT><B>-cell
</B><DD>Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
argument with the <B>-localauth</B> flag. For more details, see the
introductory <B>vos</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-noauth
</B><DD>Assigns the unprivileged identity <B>anonymous</B> to the
issuer. Do not combine this flag with the <B>-localauth</B>
flag. For more details, see the introductory <B>vos</B> reference
page.
<P><DT><B>-localauth
</B><DD>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
<B>/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</B> file. The <B>vos</B> command
interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
<B>-cell</B> argument or <B>-noauth</B> flag. For more details,
see the introductory <B>vos</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-verbose
</B><DD>Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings
and error messages appear.
<P><DT><B>-help
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
</DL>
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
<P>The following command locks the VLDB entry for
<B>user.terry</B>.
<PRE> % <B>vos lock user.terry</B>
</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
<P>The issuer must be listed in the <B>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</B> file on
the machine specified with the <B>-server</B> argument and on each
database server machine. If the <B>-localauth</B> flag is included,
the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
superuser <B>root</B>.
