well, now it's getting worse and worse, and i fear i may have lost
everything. i just tried suggestions from this thread:

http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2003/4842.html

and i tried restarting it by creating a file called /vice/vol/skipsalvage.
now i'm getting this:

[root_at_db srv]# more SrvLog
02:21:11 New SrvLog started at Sat May 17 02:21:11 2003

02:21:11 Resource limit on data size are set to -1

02:21:11 RvmType is Rvm
02:21:11 Main process doing a LWP_Init()
02:21:11 Main thread just did a RVM_SET_THREAD_DATA

02:21:11 Setting Rvm Truncate threshhold to 5.

Error rvm_load_segment returns 210
02:21:11 rds_load_heap error RVM_EOFFSET

and this:

[root_at_db srv]# more SrvErr
Assertion failed: err == RVM_SUCCESS, file "/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/coda-5.3.20/co
da-src/vice/srv.cc", line 1807
EXITING! Bye!


i really don't know what to do at this point. it seems to be about
as broken as it can possibly get.
