[comp.unix.wizards] NFS mounted filesystems

kes@gvlv2.GVL.Unisys.COM (Kes Masalaitis) (02/18/89)

How can I tell who has my filesystems mounted on their
machines.  I'm not sure I'm posting to the correct
newsgroup since this is my first posting outside my
organization.  Please e-mail replies.

Thanks in advance,
Kes

the file /etc/rmtab contains a list of every partition that is mounted
by a foreign host and that host. But beware, this file is not always 
accurate though.  If a machine goes down, /etc/rmtab might not get
updated properly.

You should just look at /etc/exports to see which partitions your hosts
allows foreign hosts to mount, and assume that they are already mounted
by those foreign hosts (or just go to the foreign host and check what
is mounted there).
