NAME
rmtab — local file system mount statistics
DESCRIPTION
File
/etc/rmtab
contains a record of all clients that mounted remote file systems
from this machine.
Whenever a remote
mount
is done, an entry is made in the
rmtab
file of the machine serving that file system.
umount
removes the entry of a remotely mounted file system.
umount -a
broadcasts to all servers that they should remove all entries from
rmtab
created by the sender of the broadcast message.
The table is a series of lines of the following form:
This table only preserves information between crashes,
and is read only by
mountd
when it starts (see
mountd(1M)).
mountd
keeps an in-core table to handle requests from commands such as
showmount
and
shutdown
(see
showmount(1M)
and
shutdown(1M)).
WARNINGS
Although the
rmtab
table is close to the truth, it is not always totally accurate.
