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.
