NFS Mounts

[MikeL_4]

We have servers that are able to mount file systems from a server.
Is there any way to tell what servers may have file systems mounted from this server ?

I think you're asking how to tell which servers can mount the files systems that this NFS server makes available. If that's true, take a look at your /etc/exports file.

Do a "man showmount" and see if this meets your needs.

Hello,

if you want to know who is mounting a filesysteme you share you can run the command:
# showmount
or
# cat /etc/rmtab |grep -v "^#"

if you want to know what you share (nfs), you can run the command:
# exportfs -v
and you can also
# cat /etc/exports

here are the manpages you can read for more informations
showmount(1m) - show all remote mounts
rmtab(4) - local file system mount statistics

You can try using the 'showmount' command.

# showmount -a

# man showmount
for more information.

However, this may show a bunch of bogus info depending on the usage of the NFS server and whether or not things were unmount cleanly or not.

See this thread for a discussion on showmount.
