The VL_ error table currently doesn't have an error code to indicate that an operation cannot succeed because the database is corrupted. There are a few error codes for specific cases of errors that are probably the result of corruption (like VL_IDALREADYHASHED, or VL_EMPTY), but these are only for specific cases and indicate rather low-level internal problems. There are some instances where the real problem preventing an operation from succeeding is that the database is just corrupt or inconsistent in some way, and the administrator must repair the database before it can succeed. And we currently don't have any way of indicating that situation via an error code. So, introduce the VL_DBBAD code, to indicate this situation. Error codes already exist in other tables for similar situations, such as PRDBBAD, and KADATABASEINCONSISTENT. This commit does not use the new error code anywhere; we just introduce it into the VL_ error table, so comerr-using applications will be able to interpret it. Note that the VL_DBBAD error code has been recognized by the AFS Assigned Numbers Registry as recorded in the ticket history of <https://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=134817> Change-Id: I8fea356a4e0db907ec8418efe6ef35d547be0a63 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.openafs.org/13383 Tested-by: BuildBot <buildbot@rampaginggeek.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Vitale <mvitale@sinenomine.net> Reviewed-by: Benjamin Kaduk <kaduk@mit.edu>
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.
