The error numbers (especially the low ones) are normally standard unix
errno's. So this one is ENXIO, No such device or address. Which is
used by venus when the volume lookup fails.

I just looked at the testserver, and although it is running (cmon works)
it has some errors in the logs:

    11:44:37 VGetPartition Couldn't find partition /vicepa

Arghh, the testserver has been pretty much dead ever since it was last
restarted Jun 7th. Will fix it right now, sorry about the inconvenience.
