rmtab(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual rmtab(4)
NAME
rmtab - remote mounted filesystem table
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
contains a table of filesystems that are remotely mounted by NFS clients. This file is maintained by mountd(1M), the daemon. The data in
this file should be obtained only from mountd(1M) using the remote procedure call.
The file contains a line of information for each remotely mounted filesystem. There are a number of lines of the form:
The daemon adds an entry for any client that successfully executes a mount request and deletes the appropriate entries for an unmount
request.
Lines beginning with a pound sign are commented out. These lines are removed from the file by when it first starts up. Stale entries may
accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.
