I had this crazy problem with NFS and not started idmapd after reboot on my Ubuntu 12.10 x64. I tested a lot of advices from the internet but found my crazy soltion. I don't know why it works :)
I used to have in my fstab: 10.254.239.1:/usr/data/disk_1 /usr/data/disk_1 nfs4 _netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=1,soft,retry=0,auto,bg 0 0 The only thing I changed was ip address: domain.com:/usr/data/disk_1 /usr/data/disk_1 nfs4 _netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=1,soft,retry=0,auto,bg 0 0 Actually domain.com resolves to 10.254.239.1 (My DNS server is on 10.254.239.1 also) But there are even errors "Can't be resolved" in log. So I don't know why it works. But still it mounts(!) now and everything is working.
