NAME

rmtab - remote mounted ﬁlesystem table

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rmtab

DESCRIPTION

rmtab contains a table of ﬁlesystems that are remotely mounted by NFS clients. This ﬁle is maintained

by mountd(1M), the mount daemon. The data in this ﬁle should be obtained only from mountd(1M)

using the

MOUNTPROC_DUMP

remote procedure call.

The ﬁle contains a line of information for each remotely mounted ﬁlesystem. There are a number of lines

of the form:

hostname

:fsname

The

mount daemon adds an entry for any client that successfully executes a mount request and deletes

the appropriate entries for an unmount request.

Lines beginning with a pound sign (

#) are commented out. These lines are removed from the ﬁle by

mountd(1M) when it ﬁrst starts up. Stale entries may accumulate for clients that crash without sending

an unmount request.
