Using coda-5.2.7, I have a weird problem convincing volumes created on different partitions that they *are* on different partitions. volutil seems to be ignoring me :( eg Given that the VSGDB reads E0000100 loki musashi and that the AllVolumes list reads (pardon for the line length) coda.root.0 fe000002 loki.wkstn.nix /usr/coda/vice/coda.root 2 0 0 W 934113723 934113723 0 coda.root.1 2000001 musashi.1i /usr/coda/vice/coda.root 2 0 0 W 934113723 934113723 0 If I do a createvol_rep to create another volume in another partition (which has already been ftreedb'd up and put in the vicetab), viz loki:/vice# createvol_rep packages.misc E0000100 /usr/coda/vice/packages.misc Servers are (loki musashi ) HexGroupId is 7F000005 creating volume packages.misc.0 on loki V_BindToServer: binding to host loki.wkstn.nix Volume fe000006 (packages.misc.0) created creating volume packages.misc.1 on musashi in /usr/coda/vice/packages.misc V_BindToServer: binding to host musashi.1i Volume 2000005 (packages.misc.1) created Fetching /vice/vol/Volumelist from musashi loki V_BindToServer: binding to host loki VLDB completed. <echo packages.misc 7F000005 2 fe000006 2000005 0 0 0 0 0 0 E0000100 >> /vice/vol/VRList> V_BindToServer: binding to host loki VRDB completed. Do you wish this volume to be Backed Up (y/n)? [n] n The AllVolumes list gains the entries packages.misc.0 fe000006 loki.wkstn.nix /usr/coda/vice/coda.root 2 0 0 W 934119439 934119439 0 packages.misc.1 2000005 musashi.1i /usr/coda/vice/coda.root 2 0 0 W 934119440 934119440 0 Note that these entries reside *on the wrong partition*, i.e. not the partition given, and attempting to create a big file there indicates that (my coda.root volume is only 20Mb) with the volume filling and turning into a reintegration failure for repair. This *must* be my error (coda surely works with volumes on multiple partitions OK, and I *am* just learning about it), but for the life of me I can't work out what in Cthulhu's name I've done wrong. The manual doesn't mention this particular, er, oddity.
