NAME

showmount − show all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The showmount command lists all clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from host. This information is maintained by the mountd(1M) server on host. The default value for host is the value returned by 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 was mounted. 

−d List directories that were remotely mounted by clients. 

−e Print the list of exported file systems. 

WARNINGS

If a client crashes, executing showmount on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted, i.e., the client’s entry is not removed from /etc/rmtab until the client reboots and executes umount −a.

Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry will appear in /etc/rmtab. Doing a umount of one of these directories will remove the single entry and showmount will not indicate that the remote directory is mounted any longer.
