SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

showmount - show all remote mounts

USAGE

/etc/showmount [ −a ] [ −d ] [ −e ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION

The showmount command lists all remote clients that have mounted file systems belonging to host.  The command gets its information from the mountd(8c) server on host. 

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 mounted file system. 

−d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients. 

−e Print the list of exported file systems in /etc/exports. 

FILES

/etc/mtab mount table

/etc/fstab file system table

/etc/rmtab remote mount table

CAUTIONS

If a client crashes, its entry remains on the list until someone reboots the client and executes the umount command.  There is never any need to unmount a file system mounted in the DOMAIN network root directory.
