Only noticed this when my root partition was filling up (the nfs
mountpoint is on /mnt/nfs which is on the root partition). There is
probably a mistake in my setup but I don't really know where to look.

May there be a program writing under the NFS mountpoint? I mean, program
writing to /mnt/nfs/ was started before the NFS system was mounted, so it
writes to your disk instead of NFS.

try to umount /mnt/nfs and look to the directory after.

Yes indeed I use /mnt/nfs for backups with "sbackup". It is supposed to
make only a daily backup at a time at which the computer is definitely
on and the nfs mounted

Might be that the nfs was not mounted for some time which made it write
to the local disk instead. Will investigate further.

thanks a lot for pushing me in the right direction
