We have a shared drive mounted on our Linux machine using NFSv4. But we are not able to write anything to the drives. Creation of files fail with the below error but once you cancel and exit we see the file created. Again if we try to edit and modify the file, the same error occures and the file is NOT updated. What could be the reasons for this error? A few screen captures below:
/appdata is the mount point which is shared and has write issues.

There is enough space available in the disk (about 50GB free). Also permissions are good too with rw for the user/group 'mqm'.
Will be happy to provide more details if required. Please help with your valuable suggestions and advices.
