NAME
mountd - NFS mount request server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd [-l log_file ][-t n][-p]
DESCRIPTION
mountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount requests. It reads file /etc/xtab (described
in exports(4)) to determine which directories are available to which machines. It also provides information
on what file systems are mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the
showmount command (see showmount(1M)).
rpc.mountd can be started at boot time by setting the variable NFS_SERVER to 1 in the file
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
Options
mountd recognizes the following options:
-l log_file Log any errors to the named log file, log_file. Errors are not logged if the
-l option is
not specified.
The information logged to the file includes the date and time of the error, the host name,
process
ID and name of the function generating the error, and the error message. Note
that different services can share a single log file since enough information is included to
uniquely identify each error.
-p Run from unreserved ports. This option restores the old default behavior on HP-UX. The
default has been changed for the mount daemon to run from reserved ports unless this
option is set.
-tn Specify tracing level n,where n can have one of the following values:
1 Errors only (default)
2 Errors, mount requests and mount failures
WARNINGS
The default behavior of the mount daemon is to run from reserved ports. If the daemon needs to be run
from unreserved ports, use the -p option.
If a client crashes, executing showmount on the server will show that the client still has a file system
mounted; i.e., the client’s entry is not removed from /etc/rmtab until the client reboots and executes
umount -a (see showmount(1M)).
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.
