i boot even offline with openafs; no noticeable difference in speed. nor should there be assuming you didn't turn off dynroot. >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.
