NAME
rmtab - local file system mount statistics
DESCRIPTION
File /etc/rmtab contains a record of all clients that mounted remote file systems from this machine.
Whenever a remote mount is done, an entry is made in the rmtab file of the machine serving that file
system. umount removes the entry of a remotely mounted file system. umount -a broadcasts to all
servers that they should remove all entries from rmtab created by the sender of the broadcast message.
The table is a series of lines of the following form:
hostname:directory
This table only preserves information between crashes, and is read only by mountd when it starts (see
mountd(1M)). mountd keeps an in-core table to handle requests from commands such as showmount
and shutdown (see showmount(1M) and shutdown(1M)).
WARNINGS
Although the rmtab table is close to the truth, it is not always totally accurate.
