MOUNTD(8C)

NAME

mountd - manages file system mount requests

USAGE

cps /etc/mountd [ -sn ]

DESCRIPTION

The mountd server daemon runs on a server host and manages file system mount requests.  When it receives a request from a client host, it consults the server host’s /etc/exports (5) file to determine if the client host can access the requested file system.  Mountd also supplies the showmount(8) command with information about client hosts that have file systems mounted. 
 
Normally, you invoke the server daemon in the server host’s ‘node_data/startup file.  The -s option puts the server daemon to sleep for n seconds to allow the TCP server to fully initialize before the server daemon requires its resources.  The recommended value for n is 15. 

EXAMPLE

cps /etc/mountd -s15
