I have a similar issue.  If the NAS has gone to sleep, it's very hard
to wake up.  It takes so long, that the autofs thing that Fedora does
gives up and refuses to try again.  If I open up the webserver
interface to the NAS, rummage around the contents a bit, the drive
wakes up, and then NFS automounts work fine.

Another NAS is quicker at coming to life, and doesn't have that
problem.

If something has got its hooks into trying to use autofs (like a
Nautilus browser window, or an application's file requester), this can
really jam up the works on an automount that's not mounting.

I'd like to know if I can tweak a timeout for autofs, I didn't used to
have this problem.
