Public bug reported:

Summary: udsiks2 automount failed to start after NFS export on an up to
date 20.04.

Strange bug. 
After installing the nfs-server with a simple export:

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes       hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) 
hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4        gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes  gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
/home/gebi/multimedia 192.168.0.1/24(rw,async)


the udisks2 daemon fails to start. With the result of a broken gnome-shell 
without automount:

 bus-daemon[1094]: [system] Failed to activate service
'org.freedesktop.UDisks2': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)

here more in detail:

Luckily I found the reason:

Jul 31 20:30:04 gebi-desktop blkmapd[421]: open pipe file
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/blocklayout failed: No such file or directory

after masking this service with:

systemctl mask nfs-blkmap.service

No errors anymore and udisks2 works !???!

Seems to be realated to this:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850464

Masking the blkmap service resolves this issue.

Thus, I suggest to set this as default.

IMHO: As novice user like I am, I needed hours to find this out and the
"blkmapd - pNFS" feature is just needed in very special cases in an
enterprise environment.
