Bug Description

With standard settings, nfs maps all user ids to nobody/nogroup.

With vers=3 as mount option, the nfs client shows the right userids,
but when I try to edit a file, nfs reports the file system as READ ONLY, whiuch is not correct.

Mount command reports this file system as READ WRITE and I am owner of all file on this share. I see no reason why these files or the filesystem should be read only. All other version of ubuntu have no problems reading and writing files on a nfs network share, at least 13.10 works.

For me, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is not usable at all - especially for a production system!

Even with vers=4 nfs reports "file system is read only".

Sorry, restarting nfs-kernel-server on Ubuntu 12.04 solves this problem.
But I don't know, why. I do not find any error message regarding nfs in the logs. Perhaps a 12.04 problem?
