Having two replication sites on the same server doesn't actually do
anything for you..
The fileserver attaches volumes by volume-id, not by
{partition,volume-id}, and the client protocol only passes the volume
id, not {partition, volume-id} to the server...
.. so the second instance of the volume isn't attached at fileserver
startup, and shows up as "off line"..
