Red Hat 5/6 when I do mount it says type nfs, I would like to know how to determine version if it isn't listed in mount options or fstab. Please don't say remount it with the version option, I want to know how to determine the currently mounted NFS version. I am guessing it will default based on NFS server/client settings, but how to I determine what it is currently? I am pretty sure it's NFS v3 because nfs4_setfacl is not supported it seems.

Here are 2 ways to do it:

mount

Using mount's -v switch:

$ mount -v | grep /home/sam
mulder:/export/raid1/home/sam on /home/sam type nfs (rw,intr,tcp,nfsvers=3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,addr=192.168.1.1)

nfsstat

Using nfsstat -m:

$ nfsstat -m | grep -A 1 /home/sam
/home/sam from mulder:/export/raid1/home/sam
 Flags: rw,vers=3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,hard,intr,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=mulder

    Worth noting, sometimes nfsstat -m shows version and more details when mount -v does not. Commented Mar 10, 2017 at 8:54
  • how would you check the version on server side ? Commented Jan 26, 2021 at 10:10

Use nfsstat -m it will display all the nfs mounted filesystem and theirs properties.

    I liked your answer but gave it to slm because he provided more information. Commented Feb 19, 2014 at 16:31

Don't forget the ultimate authority!

cat /proc/mounts

In Ubuntu 12.04, mount -v has the same information than without -v (no NFS version).

nfsstat -m shows the information about version.

Just plain

nfsstat

On the master server worked for me --

Server nfs v3:

Using -m only worked on the slaves

On Ubuntu 22.04.1 Jammy at least the most sure shot way is

sudo cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions

which yields something like

-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2

-2

df -T

This will show filesystem.

    Does it show NFS version information, as required by the OP? Please edit and update your answer with an example of the command's output. Commented Oct 27, 2021 at 5:46
