I did try 'systemctl stop openafs-client.service'. This should have
called the lines in openafs-client.service:

ExecStop=3D/bin/umount /afs
ExecStop=3D/usr/vice/etc/afsd -shutdown
ExecStop=3D/sbin/rmmod openafs

But this didn't work. The afsd seemed to be in a state where -shutdown
didn't work. And each restart triggered another bunch of
processes/threads which couldn't be removed.

The interesting part is that this morning the LAN interface got up some
milliseconds earlier during the boot. And so the network manager could
do his job early enough for the afsd. And now stop and start with
systemctl works as expected.
