NAME

showmount − show all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

showmount lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from host. This information is maintained by the mountd(1M) 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). 

OPTIONS

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

−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. 

−e Print the list of exported file systems. 

SEE ALSO

exports(4), rmtab(4), mountd(1M),

BUGS

If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the list until it reboots and executes umount -a.
