The vos convertROtoRW command converts a RO volume into a RW volume. Unfortunately, the RO volume is not checked out from the fileserver during this process. As a result, accesses to the volume being converted can leave volume objects in an inconsistent state. Moreover, consider the following scenario: 1. Create a volume on host_b and add replicas on host_a and host_b. $ vos create host_b a vol_1 $ vos addsite host_b a vol_1 $ vos addiste host_a a vol_1 2. Mount the volume: $ fs mkmount /afs/.mycell/vol_1 vol_1 $ vos release vol_1 $ vos release root.cell 3. Shutdown dafs on host_b: $ bos shutdown host_b dafs 4. Remove RO reference to host_b from the vldb: $ vos remsite host_b a vol_1 5. Attach the RO copy by touching it: $ fs flushall $ ls /afs/mycell/vol_1 6. Convert RO copy to RW: $ vos convertROtoRW host_a a vol_1 Notice that FSYNC_com_VolDone fails silently (FSYNC_BAD_STATE), leaving the volume object for the RO copy set as VOL_STATE_ATTACHED (on success, this volume should be set as VOL_STATE_DELETED). 7. Add replica on host_a: $ vos addsite host_a a vol_1 8. Wait until the "inUse" flag of the RO entry is cleared (or force this to happen by attaching multiple volumes). 9. Release the volume: $ vos release vol_1 Failed to start transaction on volume 536870922 Volume not attached, does not exist, or not on line Error in vos release command. Volume not attached, does not exist, or not on line Notice that this happens because we cannot mark an attached volume as destroyed (FSYNC_com_VolDone). To avoid the problem mentioned above and to prevent accesses to the volume being converted, take the RO volume offline before converting it to RW.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many different machines, but are available to users on every machine. OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by the relevant copyright holders.
