Hi,

     As root, I used the following steps to manual stop afs on Mac OS 
10.2.x platform:
% umount /afs
% /sbin/kextunload -b org.openafs.filesystems.afs

Note: "org.openafs.filesystems.afs" is the kernel extension

After that, I start afs up manually as follows:
% /Library/StartupItems/OpenAFS/OpenAFS
AFS startup messages appeared as follows:
Loading AFS kernel extensions
kextload: /var/db/openafs/etc/afs.kext loaded successfully
Starting afsd
afsd: All AFS daemons started.

     After manual startup of AFS, the kernel extension was reloaded and AFS 
worked for command line operations only, but GUI not always work.

     I wondered may be I didn't stop AFS cleanly, or I may need some more 
steps during stop and/or startup.  Anyone has the same or similar 
experiences for stop and startup AFS on OS X?  I would appreciate any helps.

Thanks.

Will Sun
