Description

I consistently get the following error whenever I try to start Traffic Server (release 3.2.0). Yesterday I built Traffic Server from Git HEAD (34a2ba) to check if it behaves any differently, but I consistently reproduce this same error whenever I try to start it, too

Here's my configuration, which is pretty minimal: http://nottheoilrig.com/trafficserver/201210120/

What details can I provide to help debug this? James Peach suggested attaching some kind of dump of the volume header: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/trafficserver-users/201210.mbox/%3C9ED91AE2-2F52-4BDB-9088-E14D40642C34%40apache.org%3E
