The vos unlock command releases the lock on the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume.
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.
The following example unlocks the VLDB entry for the volume "user.terry".
% vos unlock user.terry
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".
