I've already created my repository and have been using it for a while. I wanted to check what filesystem data store it is using: Berkeley DB or FSFS. I'm not sure how to check this. I've looked at svnadmin, svnlook, etc. Any hints on how to do this?

Check the db/fs-type file in your repository:

$ cat db/fs-type
fsfs

Assuming you can access the filesystem the repository is on then you can check if there is a file for each source file in the DB subdir

Sorry don't know how to do it from the client side

Granted this is an older question, but if you have access to the server, it is possible to examine the details using svnadmin. Change to the directory containing the repositories, and then use svnadmin info REPOSITORY. The Filesystem Type and Filesystem Format will be displayed. Works with svnadmin version from at least 1.9.

# svnadmin info sandbox
