Title:
  NFSv2 has been disabled, turning it back on is not obvious

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In 17.10 NFSv2 has been disabled by default, existing stuff (in my
  case embedded hardware development systems based on uboot) continue to
  use the old NFS protocols ...

  This thread describes the issue, and the solution:

  This bug is a request for documentation so the next person doesn't waste a day hunting this problem down, please:

  - document in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server how to enable NFSv2
  protocols

  - make a note in the "man nfs" pages noting that NFSv2 is disabled by
  default and that instructions on how to enable it can be found in
  /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server
