The string output returned +by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1" +correspondingly. + +Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is disabled by default. +It can be enabled at run time by writing the string "+4.1" to +the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this +control file, the nfsd service must be taken down.
