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.
