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
