This section of the man page is obsolete and incorrect.  You have to both
unmount /afs *and* run afsd -shutdown, and once that's done on Linux, you
can generally restart afsd without requiring any sort of reboot.  The init
script does this properly and I use it regularly; the man page is wrong.
I'll get the man page fixed.
