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
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
