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. 

Thanks - jack
