checking NFS mounted dir for status

[Joe Pepe]

I have four HPJ5600s that are NFS mounted to each other. Each acts as a client and a server. I have a 2G directory on each disk distinguished as follows:
/OSE/ecdws1/
/OSE/ecdws2/
/OSE/ecdws3/
/OSE/ecdws4/
Is there a command I can use to check if my mounted directory is available to write and read from? (i.e/: without having to do an open on a file that is in the directory)? I don't hink "showmount" gives me what I need. Am I wrong?

# showmount -e

provided /etc/rmtab is clean.

Hi,

Check the /etc/exports file for checking out the permissions.

# cat /etc/exports

Hi,

The 'showmount' command should give you what you want.

-a Print all remote mounts in the format of name:directory
-d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
-e Print the list of exported file systems.

# showmount -e myhost
