NAME

showmount − show all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The showmount command lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a file system 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).

The following options are available:

−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), rmtab(4). 
uname(1) in the INTERACTIVE UNIX System User’s/System Administrator’s Reference Manual.

BUGS

If a client crashes, its entry is not removed from the list until it reboots and actually umounts the file system (see mount(1M)).
