Is it possible to revert to an older kernel?

[scottchiefbaker]

I think I’m running in to this NFS kernel bug. I’d like to test it out by reverting to an older version of the kernel.

Is this something OSMC supports?

From what I understand that problematic NFS version is from the OS you would be using to house your files, and not OSMC. However since it has been confirmed that the issue only arises with using Kodi NFS paths and not system mounts then the path of least resistance while waiting for the fix would be to just make a system mount…

Configuring fstab based NFS share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who’d like to use NFS (Network File System - mostly used with Linux/Unix systems). It assumes that you already are sharing media files favourably on a NAS system that supports NFS shares (for how to setup NFS sharing e.g. on your NAS system, look for instructions by your system’s vendor). Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in NFS client? Using /etc/fstab is faster than Kodi’s own NFS client - it delivers better throughput and is more reliable (also than SM…

and then put a path substitution in an advancedsetting.xml file to make your existing Kodi configuration and library redirect to this system path.

[HowTo] Repairing File Paths with Path Substitution

This guide is intended only as a more in depth instruction for manipulating file paths either for broken links or performance modification. For other applications of path substitution you can consult Kodi’s wiki on the subject. At its core, path substitution is a simple concept. You are simply adding <from> and <to> tags to an advancedsettings.xml file that specify a part of a file path that will get replaced, and the new path that will be replacing it. Kodi will use this whenever it is trying …

Please note with this type of change you should NOT change your source paths in Kodi.

The NFS kernel bug referred to in your link is on the NFS server side and was introduced in Linux kernel version 5.10.11. As such, reverting to an older version of OSMC would make no sense, since OSMC doesn’t run on kernel 5.10.11 or higher, and is (usually) a client-side system.

Aha! I misunderstood.

I updated my Fedora server and now my Kodi NFS shares are working perfectly. Thank you for the clarification.
