SHOWMOUNT(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

showmount - show remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/showmount [-ade] [hostname]

DESCRIPTION

showmount lists the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from
host. This information is maintained by the mountd(8) server on host, and
is saved across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab. The default value for
host is the value returned by hostname(1).


The showmount command does not display the names of NFS Version 4
clients.

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 has been mounted.


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


-e
Print the list of shared file systems.

FILES

/etc/rmtab

SEE ALSO

hostname(1), attributes(7), mountd(8)

BUGS

If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the list of
remote mounts on the server.
