NFS mounted

[Dan Maul]

I have a file system that is belived to NFS mounted. How can I verify if it is??

Our Administrator is vacation.

Please advise.

Thanks!!

bdf will show it in the 1st column.

Instead of the filesystem starting with a "/" (such as /dev/vg00/lvol1), it will start with a machine name.

For example:

afthrs.atl.hp.com:/data

execute this command:

mount -p | grep -i nfs

all the entries of the form

hostname:directory /other_directory

are nfs mounts

Hi Dan:

# showmount

...will show all remote mounts

# cat /etc/exports

...will list the directories that can be exported to NFS clients

# cat /etc/xtab

...will show currently exported directories

mount point will start with hostname.

bdf -t nfs

[Dan Maul]

Thanks for the quick response!!

OK, I tried several things to verify.
bdf does not show it to be a nfs mount.
However it is listed in /etc/exports and /etc/xtab.
When I did the bdf -t nfs no information was
returned.

Please help.

Looks like what you want to know is what is exported to other clients as opposed to what is imported from other server.

#showmount -e

will show you all file systems that are exported and who has them mounted.

[Dan Maul]

showmount -e gives the following reply:
/devl/u00/applic/psoft/vertex_2 (everyone)
this is the file system that I need to confirm
is nfs mounted. I assume it is since show mount is showing it and it's listed in the /etc/exports & /etc/xtab.

Would I be correct?

Hi (again) Dan:

See the man pages for 'showmount(1M). The options '-a', '-d' and '-e' allow you to distingush what is exported for mounting ('-e') and what has been mounted by a client ('-a' and '-d').

Thanks all... This issue has been resolved.

We were not able to map to this file system, thus they wanted me to verify it was nfs mounted. It was. We were not able to connect to until I did a chmod on the file.

Thanks again all!!

If showmount -e shows the file system, it is NFS shared from this machine. When you say NFS mounted to you mean on the system you are running the showmount command on or exported from this system mounted on another?

[Dan Maul]

Brian,

Yes I was talking about the system on which I ran showmount -e.
I was typing rather quickly and did not make myself clear. Sorry for that.
