There's nothing nfsv4.1 specific in "/etc/exports" above; or in the
error message.

Since nfsd isn't even starting, let's start with:

grep nfs /proc/filesystems
cat /etc/default/{nfs-common,nfs-kernel-server}

The syntax of "/etc/exports" is strict. I've never seen or used a
trailing "/" so I'd delete it if I were you, although this might be a
non-issue.
