NAME
rmtab - remote mounted filesystem table
SYNOPSIS
/etc/rmtab
DESCRIPTION
rmtab contains a table of filesystems that are remotely mounted by NFS clients. This file is maintained
by mountd(1M), the mount daemon. The data in this file should be obtained only from mountd(1M) using
the
MOUNTPROC_DUMP
remote procedure call.
The file contains a line of information for each remotely mounted filesystem. There are a number of lines of
the form:
hostname
:fsname
The mount daemon adds an entry for any client that successfully executes a mount request and deletes the
appropriate entries for an unmount request.
Lines beginning with a pound sign (#) are commented out. These lines are removed from the file by
mountd(1M) when it first starts up. Stale entries may accumulate for clients that crash without sending
an unmount request.
FILES
