NAME

showmount - show remote nfs mounts on host

SYNOPSIS

showmount [ -ade ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION

Showmount shows status information about the NFS server on host. By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems mounted on the host. See "NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A" for a detailed desciption of the protocol.

-a

List all mount points in the form:

: host:dirpath

-d

List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts

-e

Show the host's exports list

BUGS

The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. Showmount will only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
