softupdate can't find config space

[John G Heim]

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
