showmount(8)showmount(8)NAMEshowmount - Shows remote NFS compatible mounts on a host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/showmount [-adeT] [-t nnn] [host]
OPTIONS
Lists all mount points in the form: hostname:dirpath. In this form,
hostname is the name of a client that has remotely mounted a directory
from an NFS server, and dirpath is the directory that has been mounted.
Lists only directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
Shows exports list for host. Specifies an infinite timeout. The
default timeout value is 25 seconds. Specifies a timeout value, in
seconds. The default timeout value is 25 seconds.
The default value for host is the current hostname.
OPERANDS
Specifies the name of the NFS server for which you are displaying mount
information. If this operand is not specified, the showmount command
uses the current hostname.
DESCRIPTION
The showmount command shows status information about the NFS server on
host. By default, it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file
systems mounted from the server host. See NFS: Network File System
Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A for a detailed description
of the protocol.
NOTES
The mountd daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual
mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. showmount will only display
the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
The default timeout value of 25 seconds can be too brief to read and
verify an export list. If you receive timeout messages when using the
showmount-e command, use either the -T or the -t options to increase
the timeout value.
FILES
Specifies the command path Contains a table of local file systems
mounted by remote NFS clients
