showmount(NADM)

showmount -- show all remote mounts

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/showmount [-ade] [host]

Description

showmount lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from host. This information is maintained by the mountd(NADM) server on host, and is saved across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab. The default value for host is the value returned by hostname(C).

Options

-a

Print all remote mounts in the format:

hostname : directory

where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the filesystem that has been mounted.

-d

List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.

-e

Print the list of exported filesystems.

Files

/etc/rmtab

Usage

If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the list until it reboots and executes umount -a.
