I restored the contents of /afs/sipb/project/sipb/machtype/{hp,rt,vax}.
Whoever deleted all the files there, please don't do it again.
In case it's useful to anyone, here's one procedure for recovering afs
volumes from backup tapes:
-- log into portnoy as root
-- obtain tokens for a privileged user in the sipb cell
-- in one shell, type
setenv AFSCELL sipb.mit.edu
/afs/sipb/project/newdump/@sys/butc -debuglevel 2 -noautoquery
-- in another shell, type
setenv AFSCELL sipb.mit.edu
/afs/sipb/project/newdump/@sys/backup
-- this second shell should have a "backup>" prompt. To restore a
volume called project.foo, type something of the form:
volrestore -server ronald-ann -partition h
-volume project.foo.backup -extension .rst
all on one line. If you don't specify -extension, an existing
volume may be eliminated by the restore -- this is usually not
what you want, unless you're sure that the existing volume
has nothing useful in it. In this example, the new volume
project.foo.rst would be created on ronald-ann h.
-- Once there is a message indicating that the volume has been
restored, control-C in the first shell and type "quit" in the
second shell.
