[Bug 1582854] [NEW] mount -t nfs not working in ubuntu 16.04

[Manfred Grabherr]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04, the command

sudo mount -t nfs Biest:/<path_to_shared_dir> /home/manfred/BigDisk/

times out without any further error reporting:

mount.nfs: Connection timed out

It worked on the same machine before the upgrade, and it still works
from both a 14.04 and a 15.10 machine. The file server is running 14.04.

Additional info: I just updated today (05/17/2016). Let me know what
else you need. Other people seem to have the same or similar problems,
but no official bug report, fix, or workaround to be found. Only viable
option I have now is to downgrade to 15.10.
