Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Determining IP address of NFS server on client Post 302265817 by TonyFullerMalv on Monday 8th of December 2008 03:29:18 PM
Old 12-08-2008
If the NFS servers are all still working and have some form of Unix running on them then I would run a "showmount -a" on the NFS server you wish to move client mounts from, this will list the clients that have mounts from that server and what directories they are mounting.
At the client you could run a "snoop" filtering on NFS type packets only and then run a command to an "ls" inside each NFS mount to generate some traffic and see what IP addresses it is going to that way? A bit drastic I know!
