Apologies. I should have used the source. For the record, from
stored/parse_bsr.c:
" * Every bsr should have a volfile entry and a volblock entry
* or a VolAddr
* if we are going to use positioning
"
So I need to figure out what the VolBlock should be, or switch to using VolAddr.
I'll just head back to my little cave now :)
