This points up something else, though - all the dangling mountpoints
in the sipb cell. Is there some reasonably efficient way of going
through the cell (sans user volumes) and checking each mountpoint to
see if the volumes really do exist? Offhand I can't think of anything
more efficient than `find /afs/sipb/project -type d -exec fs lsm {}
\;'; anyone have any better idea?
That won't work. Fs lsm will succeed even if the volume doesn't exist.
If you get `no such device' errors on stat()ing a directory, then you check
for missing volumes. People will come across them as necessary. The
only top-level one is /afs/sipb/project/386bsd, which points to the
non-existent volume project.386bsd.nb.
