nfs boot in LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2

I noticed openelec has removed nfs boot support: OpenELEC Mediacenter - [Stable] OpenELEC 8.0.3 released

Does this also apply for the LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2 drop? When I try to boot Libreelec, "unknown filesystem" is reported. I can boot older versions of both openelec and libreelec without any issues, now none seems to support nfs.

I'm running latest LibreELEC imx6 project from NFS. I assume other projects should boot fine too. Nothing in this regards were removed.

vpeter, are you running NFS v3 or v4?

vpeter, are you running NFS v3 or v4?

I'm running NFS server on a LEDE router and in it's config I see

Code

CONFIG_KERNEL_NFS_V4=y

so I assume it is v4. When get home I will double check on a running system and report back in case this is not true.

That's client support, you'll need to look for CONFIG_NFSD_V4 unless it's a userspace NFS server.

That being said, NFSv4 client support is enabled for all projects in LE:

I have tried with both v3 and v4 and both worked. My problem was a typo while hacking dhcpd.conf causing the rootfs not to be found. In case someone else end up with the same error it's likely a configuration problem in the other end.
