I just updated ronald-ann to run AFS 3.0Beta server software.

I installed the new software on ronald-ann, and rebuilt the vldb
(twice).

The new client software is in /afs/sipb/service/{rt_r3,vax_43}. The
output format of vos has changed; the backup scripts will have to be
fixed as a result.

There were a couple of volumes which were duplicates under the same
name, which I cleaned up.

I also created backups volumes for all the volumes with names
beginning with "user." and "project."  using the new "vos backupsys"
command.

Notable changes: 

prs/prserver renamed to "pts" and "ptserver" (prs conflicts with an
SCCS command, apparantly).

There's now a "bos salvage" command, which takes three forms:

bos salvage host -all
bos salvage host -partition x
bos salvage host -partition x -id 528123456

The first two forms shut down the fileserver for the duration of the
salvage; the third doesn't, so if there are some "damaged" volumes
floating around, it's possible to repair them without stopping &
restarting the fileserver.

I would be very careful about using bos & vos on the athena cell
fileservers.

The VAX version of vos should work more reliably now.
