There are known screw cases in the current code. In particular, if a
client starts with network "configured" but not working, or without
being able to contact their AFS servers, it will get into a state
where the only recovery option is to reboot. I don't know of any
others off the top of my head, but this is a kind of major one.
If you're at all worried, you could always use the dynamic root code
on your clients so they build /afs locally, dymanically. This should
work much better as of the next (1.2.3) release.
