Booting from NFSv4 file system?
Good morning!
Does U-Boot support booting from a NFSv4 file system? Explicitly neither NFSv2 or NFSv3 will work in our case, as both protocol versions are depreciated and no longer allowed by our IT department.

Not that I am aware of, at least not upstream, there is work being done to support booting using UEFI HTTP boot if HTTP is more straight forward for network booting.

HTTP is *USELESS* in this context, and comes with huge complications (HTTP protocol diversity, absurd requirements, which are incompatible to filesystem requirements, and security requirements like TLS, as no IT department will deploy a bare HTTP server, only HTTPS).
So NFSv4 is the better bet.
