Coda File System

What is the meaning of 'Assertion failed' ?

Hi, 

I'm still working at this huge problem,
while starting the server:


SrvErr says:


Assertion failed: ret == RVM_SUCCESS, file "recovc.cc", line 168
Sleeping forever.  You may use gdb to attach to process 4914./vice/srv#  


recovc.cc:

    /* initialize RVM on a new server */
    rvmlib_begin_transaction(restore);  
 RVMLIB_MODIFY(SRV_RVM(already_initialized), TRUE);

    /* Initialize MaxVolId to zero + (serverid << 24) */
    RVMLIB_MODIFY(SRV_RVM(MaxVolId), (VolumeId)(ThisServerId << 24));
168:    VLog(29, "coda_init: MaxVolId = %x", SRV_RVM(MaxVolId));

    /* allocate vnodediskobject structures to fill the large and small
*/
    /* vnode free lists, and set freelist pointers */
    zerovnode = (VnodeDiskObject *)buf1;         

2. portmaplog remains empty,
maybe here the reason of failures?
But rpc2portmapper is running (seems so)


thx for help
