Thanks Luca - I'm using a NetApp filer. I had to provide the UID for  
the root user in the export setup.

Normally I don't need to do this. Do you know why in this situation  
the mount is treated differently?

Everything is working with NFSv3 however when I use NFSv4 it boots  
fine to pre-pivot the file system is mounted but the ownership is  
reported as MAX_INT and I cannot write to any directory/file owned by  
MAX_INT. I found the bug report  
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570946. Does anyone know  
if this issue has been resolved or there is a work around?

Thanks!
