Never would have guessed.

According to the bug report, there is workaround. At client the error in
mount is "sec=null":

$ cat /proc/mounts
192.168.1.7:/srv/src /mnt/nfs/jondo/src nfs rw,noatime,nodiratime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1 048576,namlen=255,hard,intr,proto=tcp,timeo=600,re trans=2,sec=null,mountproto=udp,addr=192.168.1.7 0 0

Mounting all NFS shares with explicit "sec=sys" allows root to write to
the share (it's still a bug in the NFS).

Thank you,
Jari
