SHOWMOUNT(1) UNIX System V SHOWMOUNT(1)
NAME
showmount - show NFS filesystems mounted or available for mount
SYNOPSIS
showmount [-a] [-d] [-e] [host]
DESCRIPTION
showmount lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem
from host. This information is maintained by the mountd(1M) server on
host, and is saved across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab. The default
value for host is the node name returned by uname(1).
OPTIONS
The showmount command has the following options:
-d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
-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.
-e Print the list of exported file systems.
SEE ALSO
mountd(1M), exports(4), dfshares(1)
BUGS
If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the list until it
reboots and exeuctes umount -a.
showmount is provided for backward compatibility with V3.2 Lachman NFS.
The command dfshares is the V4 equivalent, covers more shared resource
services, and should be used instead of showmount.
