NAME

rmtab - remote mounted file system table

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rmtab

DESCRIPTION

rmtab contains a table of filesystems that are remotely mounted by NFS
clients. This file is maintained by mountd(8), the mount daemon. The data
in this file should be obtained only from mountd(8) using the
MOUNTPROC_DUMP remote procedure call.


The file contains a line of information for each remotely mounted
filesystem. There are a number of lines of the form:

hostname:fsname


The mount daemon adds an entry for any client that successfully executes
a mount request and deletes the appropriate entries for an unmount
request.


Lines beginning with a hash (' #') are commented out. These lines are
removed from the file by mountd(8) when it first starts up. Stale entries
may accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.
