Hi Davor, thanks for your reply.

I'm still in doubt,

If I simply run

cfs lv /coda/mekas.proyectosolidario.org/

as the vice-setup script offers, I can access the volume and creates 
files on it:

pico:/home/eric# ls /coda/mekas.proyectosolidario.org/
pico:/home/eric# mkdir /coda/mekas.proyectosolidario.org/Red
pico:/home/eric# ls /coda/mekas.proyectosolidario.org/
Red

So my question is, do I need to run cfs mkm ? If I don't where are the 
files I created physically stored ?
