I did some testing on a FC5 vmware image I had. The mounts only occur for real ( or virtual ) drives and not just file-system mount points or NFS mount points. if I have :/dev/hdX in a auto.map file, nfs tries to mount all of those devices. I am pretty sure that this is some sort of NFS 'feature'. I've moved my stuff over to samba ( -tcifs ) and it seems like samba is going to allow me to have :/dev/hdX references in my auto.map files and not mount them unless I use them. Not sure about the preformance yet ( this is all on a private, giga-bit, jumbo-frame lan ) but at least I can leave my drives in sleep mode and only power them up when needed.
