Maybe, oops.  It didn't occur to me that that might happen, since the
server has root.afs.

The afs server is set to start before the client (S49openafs-server vs.
S50openafs-client).  But maybe there was some kind of delay and root.afs
wasn't yet available when the afs client needed it.  The last reboot was
soon after a power failure.

I'm glad I asked!

Thanks, I'll take care of it later, when I'm not tired.
