How do you tell which zpool version you are running?

This is a question that crops up fairly regularly, as different operating systems support different zpool versions. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to find out which versions you are running – simply run:

 

# zpool upgrade

 

If you want a more detailed readout, including the features of the pool version you have, try:

 

# zpool upgrade -v

 

Your output should look something like this:

 

# zpool upgrade -v
