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.
