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.

# fai --verbose --class=HOURLY softupdate
