NAME

showmount − Shows remote NFS compatible mounts on a host

SYNOPSIS

showmount [-ade] [host]

FLAGS

−aLists all mount points in the form: hostname:dirpath. In this form, hostname is the name of a client that has remotely mounted a directory from an NFS server, and dirpath is the directory that has been mounted. 

−dLists only directories that have been remotely mounted by clients. 

−eShows host’s exports list. 

The default value for host is the current hostname. 

DESCRIPTION

The showmount command shows status information about the NFS server on host. By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems mounted from the server host.  See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A for a detailed desciption of the protocol. 

CAUTIONS

The mountd daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. showmount will only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
