NAME

       afs_volume_header - Represents an AFS volume

DESCRIPTION

       The Vvol_ID.vol file is the header file for the AFS volume with volume
       ID vol_ID. There is one such file for each volume stored on an AFS
       server (/vicep) partition. The header file stores information that
       includes the volume’s name, ID number, type (read/write, read-only, or
       backup), size and status (online, offline, or busy). To display
       information from the header file, use the vos listvol or vos examine
       command.

       The header file points to, but does not contain, the actual data in the
       volume. It is not possible to access the AFS data except by mounting
       the volume in the AFS filespace and reading its contents through the
       Cache Manager.
