My experience with this (Snowleopard, 1.5.7x) matches Derrick. My laptop does not mount oAFS on boot because if you're in a non-internet situation it slows the boot down badly, but once it's up the only problem you have when disconnected is access to AFS-based files is rather poor. :-) If I recall correctly, *if you wait long enough* the shutdown of oAFS does eventually succeed. That time, given that I had a files/volumes referenced in AFS, was very very long. Maybe hours. Better to leave it up.
