the client (essentially, the venus process) needs some way to transform
the name after /coda/, in your case "camboinha.servers"
to ip-number(s) of the server(s) corresponding to that realm.

It must be present in either ..../realms file on the client,
or in DNS or (if that is a single server) possibly in /etc/hosts.
Do you have it somewhere?

There is evidently no realm named "usr", so no surprise.

Did you ever create a volume named "coda.root" ?
It seems you have an only volume "u.teste".
You know, you need a root volume. You may use your "u.teste" as root.
Then put its name into db/ROOTVOLUME file (I don't use that way so I may
say wrong, typing from memory).
Or create a volume called "/" and it will be automagically recognized
as the root one (I think).

The root volume is not mounted via an explicit mountpoint, it appears
as /coda/"realmname" (see above of how "realmname" is mapped to servers' IPs).

Then you can create there mountpoints for other volumes.

You are using a wrong tool. Use createvol_rep instead.
