Unless this changed in OpenAFS somewhere along the way, you can just move 
the FileLog to some other file while the fileserver is running.  There's a 
daemon that runs every so often that checks to make sure a FileLog exists 
and will create it and start writing to it if it doesn't.

So, at least in IBM AFS, it will keep writing to the renamed file for a 
while, then at some point start writing to the new one.
