which of this is available in HP unix

[Enrico P. · Accepted solution]

/etc/xtab contains entries for directories that are currently
exported.

File /etc/rmtab contains a record of all clients that mounted remote
file systems from this machine.

man xtab

Hi ,


I got an idea about these files with a bit confusion.

/etc/exports

--> the file conatins the list of FS to be exported at boot time.

/etc/xtab

--> the file conatains the details of FS currently exported by the sytem as like mnttab file.

/etc/rmtab

-->the file contain the information that which client mounts which FS details.


Any body suggest me whether the details that I specified are Correct.

# man exports to find out more.
