Hello all,


I'm experiencing troubles configuring a cluster of two servers with
replicating vice-servers.

My layout:
/vice/hostname:
srv1-back

/vice/db/servers:
srv1-back       1
srv2-back       2

/vice/db/scm:
srv1-back

/vice/db/VSGDB:
E0000100 srv1-back
E0000101 srv2-back
E0000104 srv1-back srv2-back

/vice/vol/Allvolumes:
# [Last line of unsorted volume list]
rep_home.guido.0 1000002 srv1-back /vicepa 2 0 0 W 962012796 962012796 0
rep_home.guido.1 2000001 srv2-back /vicepa 2 0 0 W 962012800 962012800 0
voscodaroot.0 1000001 srv1-back /vicepa 2 0 0 W 962012542 962012542 0

/vice/vol/BigVolumeList:
P/vicepa Hsrv1-back Ta4e32 Fa4e25
Wvoscodaroot.0 I1000001 H1 P/vicepa m0 M0 U2 W1000001 C3957257e D3957257e B0 A0
Wrep_home.guido.0 I1000002 H1 P/vicepa m0 M0 U2 W1000002 C3957267c D3957267c B0 A0
P/vicepa Hsrv2-back Ta4e32 Fa4e25
Wrep_home.guido.1 I2000001 H2 P/vicepa m0 M0 U2 W2000001 C39572680 D39572680 B0 A0

/vice/vol/RWlist:
voscodaroot.0 1000001 srv1-back /vicepa 2 0 0
rep_home.guido.0 1000002 srv1-back /vicepa 2 0 0
rep_home.guido.1 2000001 srv2-back /vicepa 2 0 0

And in /vice/srv/SrvErr.prev:
Assertion failed: 0, file "srv.cc", line 1821
VENUS IS EXITING! Bye!

/vice/srv/SrvLog:
16:27:07 New SrvLog started at Mon Jun 26 16:27:07 2000

16:27:07 Resource limit on data size are set to 2147483647

16:27:07 Server etext 0x80cacbc, edata 0x8101178
16:27:07 RvmType is Rvm
16:27:07 Main process doing a LWP_Init()
16:27:07 Main thread just did a RVM_SET_THREAD_DATA

16:27:07 Setting Rvm Truncate threshhold to 5.

log_recover failed.
do_rvm_options failed
16:27:07 rvm_init failed RVM_EIO

The installation went fine, but I wonder wheter I got the VSGDB-address
for srv2-back right. I had to make a wild guess for that number.

After installation, I created a username/password combo, created a
replicated volume and mounted it. 
Then I populated the filesystem with 90 megs of coda-sources. Halfway
this transfer it seemed to hang for a short while and then continued. 
At the silence the server at srv1-back died never to resurrect again.
The only solution so far: dpkg --purge and wipe /vice /vicepa/ /rvm/{data|log}


Please assist me with this.

Kind regards, Guido Witmond.
