I have now three troubles. Please help me.

(1)

Excuse me. My /vice/db/ROOTVOLUME is as following.
[root_at_hibana /coda]# cat /vice/db/ROOTVOLUME
16
[root_at_hibana /coda]#

Isn't it strange? I think it was the result that I execute 
	createvol_rep 16 E0000100 /vicepa
The instruction was suggested by vice-setup.
 - create your root volume: createvol_rep 16 E0000100 /vicepa

Please tell me how to renew /vice/db/ROOTVOLUME. I execute 
	createvol_rep coda:root E0000100 /vicepa
but the file was not changed.


(2)
And I could not remove mounting point at /coda as follows.

[root_at_hibana /coda]# cfs rmmount /coda/suzaki3
VIOC_AFS_DELETE_MT_PT: No such file or directory

What is "VIOC_AFS_DELETE_MT_PT"?


(3)
Is the client rejected after 1 hour? The venus tell me as follows.

11:05:47 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 57 minutes
11:10:52 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 52 minutes
11:15:58 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 47 minutes
11:21:04 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 42 minutes
11:26:11 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 36 minutes
11:31:16 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 31 minutes
11:36:22 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 26 minutes
11:41:28 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 21 minutes
11:46:33 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 16 minutes
11:51:39 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 11 minutes
11:56:46 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 6 minutes
12:01:51 Coda token for user 0 will be rejected by the servers in +/- 1 minutes
12:06:57 Coda token for user 0 has expired

Please tell me how to get the token again. I execute "clog" but it did
not effective.
