This can happen after a system crash if the rc script hasn't been used
to stop venus. It is responsible for removing that pid file. Normally
daemons place their pid file in /var/run which is cleaned out during the
boot, so they don't hit this problem. Historically Coda had all it's
files in weird places (everything under /usr/coda), which probably made
it easier to manage installation in the old times before there was
'package management'.

Just run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/venus.init stop'.

Only one cache manager process can open /dev/cfs0 at the same time,
check if there are any other Coda clients running,

    ps auxwww | grep venus
    (optionally 'killall venus')
