16
17The B<davolserver> command initializes the Volume Server component of the
18C<dafs> process. In the conventional configuration, its binary file is
19located in the F</usr/afs/bin> directory on a file server machine.
20
21The B<davolserver> command is not normally issued at the command shell
22prompt but rather placed into a file server machine's
23F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file with the B<bos create> command. If it is
24ever issued at the command shell prompt, the issuer must be logged onto a
25database server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
