NFS mount options for NFS shares.

Hello all,

I'm reviewing our current NFS client mount configuration and would like guidance on recommended NetApp NFS mount options for RHEL 9 clients.

This is what we have for our nfsv3 shares:

aplnas123:/nas123_vol013 /xxxx nfs auto,rw,defaults,intr 0 0

And this is what we have for our nfsv4 shares:

aplnas123:/nas123_vol013 /xxxx nfs4 rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

Should the NFS version (for example, vers=3, vers=4.1, or vers=4.2) be explicitly specified on RHEL 9 clients?

Does anyone know whether these options are appropriate for RHEL 9 clients? If not, what would you recommend changing?

My understanding is that the "right" options may vary depending on business, performance, and application requirements, but I would appreciate any Linux or NetApp guidance to validate or tune the current setup.

Thanks.
