I've been using coda for a few months now, and I've found that if you have a
volume that you want replicated to a newly added server, you can do so by
creating a new volume (either with volutil clone if you want at read-only
replica), or with volutil create if you want a read-write replica.  In the
latter case, however, after you create the replica, you will need to manually
edit the VRDB to make coda aware that the new volume is a replica of the
origional (see man vrdb for details).
