Comment 5 for bug 75729

no, I tested that as well as I said. Anyway, Trond replied and said that this is a feature, not a bug... :

http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2006-December/005485.html

so, I don't like the current behavior but if it won't be fixed upstream then this can be closed and make sure that nfs-utils has good documentation of this and other "features" of the linux nfs implementation >:-/
