NAME
pfs_mountd, pfs_mountd.rpc — PFS mount request server
DESCRIPTION
This program is available with the
Portable File System Package (PFS).
pfs_mountd
is an
RPC
server that answers file system mount requests.
In the case of remote mount requests, it reads the file
/etc/pfs_xtab,
described in
pfs_exports(5),
to determine which file systems are available for mounting by
which machines.
It is recommended that the
pfs_mountd
daemon be invoked by
rc(1M).
It must be invoked in the background.
The
pfs
mount daemon
is composed of two programs:
pfs_mountd
and
pfs_mountd.rpc.
The
pfs_mountd.rpc
program should
not
be run directly. It is invoked by the
pfs_mountd
program.
The mount daemon assigns servers to mounted file systems in a round-robin
fashion. For example, if there are four pfs daemons, and four
pfs_mount's
are performed, each daemon will be serving a different mount.
Options
- -v
Verbose. Show version number, etc.
