It seems we agree that this is not a quota bug, right? Therefore I
reassign this bug to network-manager although I'm unsure whether it's a
real bug. IMO it should be documented that network-manager doesn't work
well with NFS. I wouldn't want to run a system that won't be able to
unmount my NFS shares
