Due to some screwing around which is in the category of "Kids, don't
try this at home ... in fact, don't try this under the supervision of
a professional with an ambulance on call", I managed to trash my V*DBs
_and_ the text files (volutil really ought to make backups...).

I was able to recover what matters from the server, and after repeated
cycles of volutil makev*db; volutil updatedb I'm running again.

Moral: keep fresh backups of /vice/db/VRList and /vice/vol/BigVolumeList.

Weirdness: "volutil lookup coda:root.0 /tmp/info" puts the expected
info in the file, "volutil lookup 100001 /tmp/info" does not, although
both name and hex ID work for all the other volumes I've tried.

Question: /vice/srv/SrvLog has the following in it.  Is this a
problem?  What can I do to clean out the logs?  I should note that
this is one of the two volumes that causes the most conflicts for me.
