13 <para>The <replaceable>V</replaceable><emphasis>vol_ID</emphasis><replaceable>.vol</replaceable> file is the header file for the AFS volume with
14 volume ID <emphasis>vol_ID</emphasis>. There is one such file for each volume stored on an
15 AFS server (<replaceable>/vicep</replaceable>) partition. The header file stores information that
16 includes the volume's name, ID number, type (read/write, read-only, or
17 backup), size and status (online, offline, or busy). To display
18 information from the header file, use the <emphasis role="bold">vos listvol</emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold">vos examine</emphasis>
21 <para>The header file points to, but does not contain, the actual data in the
22 volume. It is not possible to access the AFS data except by mounting the
23 volume in the AFS filespace and reading its contents through the Cache
