Hi

To know the list of directories that have been remotely mounted by clients thru NFS,

#showmount -d

Have a look on

/etc/rmtab - has list of clients uses the nfs mount points

Not pretty sure about CIFS/samba.

Best Regards,
Ramesh

smbstatus also reports current Samba connections.

/opt/samba/bin/smbstatus
/opt/samba/bin/smbstatus -S

showmount lists all clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from a host.

dear haeman
rasheed has the both answers for samba and unix
regarding samb u have to consider the cifs command and unix normally using showmount
see man pages of both commands

thanks and regards

Check the /etc/rmtab which contains a record of all clients that mounted remote file systems from this machine. Ramesh is already said that. May be you have to clean this.

I checked /etc/rmtab , it is the same as the output from showmount -a ( still not update info ) .

thx

Remove the entries related to old shares (already umounted ones) from the rmtab. Although, the rmtab table is close to the truth, it is not always totally accurate.

Dear Haeman

entries of all remotely mounted file systems and remote nfs clients are present in /etc/rmtab file
it is text file

u can use cat /etc/rmtab

also
u will get the same result if u are using
#showmount -a
command
I think u can close this thread and u can assign points

thanks and regards
