showmount(1M) showmount(1M)
NAME [Toc] [Back]
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
/usr/sbin/showmount [-a] [-d] [-e] [host]
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
showmount lists all clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem
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 [Toc] [Back]
-a Print all remote mounts in the format
name:directory
where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the
directory or root of the file system that was mounted.
-d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
-e Print the list of exported file systems.
WARNINGS [Toc] [Back]
If a client crashes, executing showmount on the server will show that
the client still has a file system mounted. In other words, 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 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.
