No Jon, you're not missing anything. I've simply started using smb because the pxes client I've been testing with has a nice check box to include a smb server in the image. You are probably right and nfs is the way to go.
By the way, since I've upgraded, autofs doesn't seem to unmount the drives (I can hear the diskette spinning every 8 seconds or so), even with the timeout set. How should I test that to see if it really is a bug? Chris.
