NAME

showmount − show remotely-mounted file systems

SYNTAX

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

DESCRIPTION

The showmount command lists all of the NFS client machines that have remotely mounted a filesystem from the NFS server host .  This information is maintained by the mountd() daemon on host, and is saved across crashes in the /etc/rmtab file. The default value for host is the value returned by hostname() or gethostname(.).

OPTIONS

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

−a Print all remote mounts in the format:

hostname:directory

In this format, hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the directory that has been mounted. 

−e Print the list of file systems exported by the NFS server, host. 

RESTRICTIONS

If an NFS client crashes, showmount will incorrectly report that the client still has a file system mounted, until the crashed client reboots.
