extra info

nfs server is running, configured accordingly https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Vagrant this mount was actually working 6 months ago.

after digging, NixOs uses systemd, Vagrant supposed to detect if the platform uses systemd or sysV https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/9b460ecedefa45a557b1c13c63449839819dc220/plugins/hosts/linux/cap/nfs.rb

          if Vagrant::Util::Platform.systemd?
             "systemctl status --no-pager #{nfs_service_name_systemd}"
          else
            "/etc/init.d/#{nfs_service_name_sysv} status"
          end

inspiring myself from a old issue #1125 I have created a /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server with execution permission

#!/bin/sh
echo $@ >> /home/<your usename>/vagrant.log

it turned out that vagrant try execute /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server once with the parameter status on vagrant up and vagrant reload, despite that folders seems to be mounted and working normally.

this seems working for now as workaround though very ugly.
