Hi,

I am currently testing Coda (5.3.20, could not get 6.0.2 to work
at all!)

yesterday on one of my clients I had a venus crash and on restart I get:

Date: Tue 10/21/2003

08:28:59 /usr/coda/LOG size is 1065472 bytes
08:28:59 /usr/coda/DATA size is 4255928 bytes

08:28:59 fatal error -- volent::~volent: CML not empty
08:28:59 RecovTerminate: dirty shutdown (1 uncommitted transactions)


what to do in such a case?

a venus -init will lose all changes made on that client

I tried repair, but it always claims the object I name is not
in conflict and refuses to start.

I find the repair documentation very sketchy at best.

a few questions:

1. after doing a 'cfs beginrepair' do I have to say beginrepair again in the
repair tool?
2. what to do if repair claims neither the directory nor the individual 
files
in them are in conflict? (but I know they are. In my case a renamed file 
did not
get renamed on the server)
3. Is there a complete/good documentation for repair?

thanks
