it was not forgot, it is on my todo list ...
unfortunately I have no test systems available
ATM to test an nfs setup, but I will try to
recreate the setup with a QEMU network shortly

in general, the answers to the following questions
could be very helpful:
- what NFS version and tcp or udp?
- what is the actual error you get?
- tcpdump of the ongoing negotiation?
- logs on both, client and filer with the
appropriate sysctl debug options enabled
sunrpc.nfsd_debug (filer)
sunrpc.nfs_debug (client)
sunrpc.rpc_debug (both)
TIA,
