MOUNTD(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures MOUNTD(8)
NAME
mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nfs/mountd [
-rv]
DESCRIPTION
mountd is an RPC server that answers requests for NFS access
information and file system mount requests. It reads the file
/etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file systems are available for
mounting by which remote machines. See
sharetab(5).
nfsd running on
the local server will contact
mountd the first time an NFS client tries
to access the file system to determine whether the client should get
read-write, read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on
the security mode used in the remoted procedure call from the client.
See
share_nfs(8).
The command also provides information as to what file systems are
mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the
showmount(8) command.
The
mountd daemon is automatically invoked by
share(8).
Only super user can run the mountd daemon.
See
nfs(5) for available configuration properties for
mountd.
Options
The options shown below are supported for NFSv2/v3 clients. They are
not supported for NFSv4 clients.
-r Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file
systems mounted will not be affected.
-v Run the command in verbose mode. Each time
mountd determines
what access a client should get, it will log the result to the
console, as well as how it got that result.
FILES

Since
mountd must be running for
nfsd to function properly,
mountd is
automatically started by the
svc:/network/nfs/server service. See
nfs(5).
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string
comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that
the case of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of
the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.
