Nothing changed on the server.  Where all my imported /home files on the client had the correct ownership before the upgrade, they now all show a UID and GID of 99 (nobody) on the client.  This is obviously rendering filess nearly useless.

Did not mount.  Complained about an error with the options.  I looked in the man pages for bot mount and mount.nfs and could not find uid= or gid=.  Tried it with just user but still, everything on the mounted partition was owned by "nobody".
