SHOWMOUNT(8) COMMAND REFERENCE SHOWMOUNT(8)
NAME
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/showmount [ -a ] [ -d ] [ -e ] [ host ]
DESCRIPTION
The command showmount lists all clients that have remotely-
mounted a file system from host; this information is
maintained by the mountd(8c) server on host, and is saved
across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab. The default value
for host is the value returned by hostname(1n).
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.
CAVEATS
If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the
list until it reboots and executes the
umount -a
command.
If changes are made in the /etc/exports source, those
changes are seen immediately when the client runs the
showmount -e servername
command; the changes also affect the next client mount
request.
If changes are made on the server in /etc/exports after a
client has mounted the server's file system, the mount is
not affected. What was mounted is still mounted, even if
the changes in /etc/exports make the current mount illegal.
