I had this crazy problem with NFS and not started idmapd after reboot on my Ubuntu 12.10 x64.
I tested a lot of advices from the internet but found my crazy soltion. I don't know why it works :)

I used to have in my fstab:
10.254.239.1:/usr/data/disk_1 /usr/data/disk_1 nfs4 _netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=1,soft,retry=0,auto,bg 0 0

The only thing I changed was ip address:
domain.com:/usr/data/disk_1 /usr/data/disk_1 nfs4 _netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=1,soft,retry=0,auto,bg 0 0

Actually domain.com resolves to 10.254.239.1 (My DNS server is on 10.254.239.1 also)
But there are even errors "Can't be resolved" in log. So I don't know why it works.

But still it mounts(!) now and everything is working.
I hope that it will help somebody and hope will never see such bugs again
