Sorry to respond to my own email. But after I pressed send, it occured
to me that I should have included info on my FAI version. But that made
me think of trying the version of FAI from the FAI repository -- which I
did and which does not have the problem I mentioned below. In other
words problem solved by upgrading the the fai repository packages.

I'm having problems with fai softupdate after an upgrade from debian
wheezy to ubuntu vivid. The config space is available at the same url as
always. The fai softupdate command is the same as always. But when I run
the fai command, it says it can't find the config space in fstab. I can
mount the config space via a mount command, 'mount -t nfs
faiserver:/src/fai/config/ /var/lib/fai/config/' -- that works.
Something must have changed about the way you specify the url to mount
the config space. Yet the fai man page does not indicate as much.
