Well...working in the SIPB office, we managed to come up with a method to
delete a similiar symlin kcreated in the zone cell. Here is how we did it:
(create symlink)
bos shutdwon seiko
/usr/afs/bin/salvager -volumeid 536870980 -partition /vicepb -nowrite -inodes
(We then looked through the list of inodes and found one that was size
'7' and decided by complete guesswork that was it)
umount /vicepa
(the partition where the volume that had the symlink was )
clri <filesystem> <inode>
mount /vicepa
(note: we should have probably run vfsck here)
bos salvage user.mhbraun -c zone
We decided however that this was serious overkill and involved too mcuh
guesswork for a production server.
sooner or later we will come up with a real solution (maybe)
