NAME

       vos_unlock - Unlocks a single VLDB entry

SYNOPSIS

       vos unlock -id <volume name or ID> [-cell <cell name>]
           [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-help]

       vos unlock -i <volume name or ID> [-c <cell name>] [-n]
           [-l] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The vos unlock command releases the lock on the Volume Location
       Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume.

CAUTIONS

       Do not user this command under normal circumstances.

       It is useful if the VLDB entry is locked but there is no reason to
       suspect inconsistency within the volume or between it and the VLDB.
       Note that it is possible to list information from locked VLDB entries,
       even though they cannot be manipulated in other ways.

       The vos unlockvldb command unlocks several VLDB entries at once, or
       even the entire VLDB. The vos lock command locks a VLDB entry so that
       no one else can perform an action that requires writing the VLDB.

OPTIONS

       -id <volume name or ID>
           Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume
           of any of the three types.

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
           argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not
           combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
           vos(1).

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter
           presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
           mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell
           argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

       -verbose
           Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
           command’s execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and
           error messages appear.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following example unlocks the VLDB entry for the volume
       "user.terry".

          % vos unlock user.terry

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on
       the machine specified with the -server argument and on each database
       server machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must
       instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser "root".
