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.
