NAME
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/showmount
[-a][-d][
-e][host ]
DESCRIPTION
showmount lists all clients that have remotely mounted a file system from host . This information is
maintained by the
mountd server on host (see mountd (1M)). The default value for host is the value
returned by
hostname (see hostname (1)).
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 file system that has been
mounted.
-d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
-e Print the list of shared file systems.
WARNINGS
If a client crashes, executing
showmount on the server will show that the client still has a file system
mounted. In other words, stale entries may accumulate for clients that crash without sending an
unmount request.
Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in
/etc/rmtab
. Doing
a
umount of one of these directories removes the single entry and showmount no longer indicates that
the remote directory is mounted.
FILES
/etc/rmtab remote mounted filesystem table
