SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       rmtab  contains a table of filesystems that are remotely mounted by NFS
14       clients. This file is maintained by mountd(1M), the mount  daemon.  The
15       data  in  this  file should be obtained only from  mountd(1M) using the
16       MOUNTPROC_DUMP remote procedure call.

19       The file contains a line  of  information  for  each  remotely  mounted
20       filesystem. There are a number of lines of the form:
21
22         hostname:fsname
23
24
25
26       The  mount  daemon  adds an entry for any client that successfully exe‐
27       cutes a mount request  and  deletes  the  appropriate  entries  for  an
28       unmount request.
29
30
31       Lines  beginning  with a hash (' #') are commented out. These lines are
32       removed from the file by mountd(1M) when  it  first  starts  up.  Stale
33       entries  may  accumulate  for  clients  that  crash  without sending an
34       unmount request.
