Wow, this problem drove me CRAZY when I upgraded to Lion two years ago, and suddenly the NAS with ...all... my files in it suddenly disappeared.
It took a long time to figure out what had changed, which included having to boot from the (slow, non-SSD) backup drive. The fact that network settings could be adjusted to allow the old protocol was apparently not known, and I ended up spending a lot of time and money replacing the NAS and figuring out how to move the files from the old NAS to the new one.
It cost me probably $500 and 15 hours of prime summer time.
There are three results.
(1) I have a much nicer NAS, which is good, but I ended up spending a lot of time and money when it was not convenient to me, which was not good;
(2) After some growing pains, I am on Lion, and I generally like it especially for the closer integration with the iPad and iPhone (ie, Contacts), but
(3) I will never, ever, ever again be an early adopter of OS updates.
