Ralf is close - if you watched closley, an .rpmnew file was droped for 
nfs stated. Some changes were made to the nfs service for F21, so I 
would recommend double checking all of your config files against the new 
man pages.

Also, firewalld for F21 includes new zones - FedoraWorkstation (for the 
workstation product) and FedoraServer (for the server product). These 
zones become the default for NetworkManager, and start off with only a 
few services enabled. Server, for instance, defaults to only ssh and 
cockpit being open - you have to tweak everything else. Workstation has 
a few more services allowed, but NFS is not one of those.
