.SH NAME
|
|
rmtab \- remotely mounted file system table
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "rmtab file" "" "\fLrmtab\fP \(em remote mounted file system table"
|
|
.I Rmtab
|
|
resides in the directory
|
|
.I /etc
|
|
and contains a record of all clients
|
|
that have done remote mounts of file systems from this machine.
|
|
Whenever a remote
|
|
.I mount
|
|
is done, an entry is made in the
|
|
.I rmtab
|
|
file of the machine serving up that file system.
|
|
.I Umount
|
|
removes entries of a remotely mounted file system.
|
|
.I "Umount \-a"
|
|
broadcasts to all servers, and informs them that they should remove
|
|
all entries from
|
|
.I rmtab
|
|
created by the sender of the broadcast message
|
|
(this is done automatically during system startup).
|
|
The table is a series of lines of the form:
|
|
.IP
|
|
hostname:directory
|
|
.PP
|
|
This table is used only to preserve information between crashes,
|
|
and is read only by
|
|
.IR mountd (1M)
|
|
when it starts up.
|
|
.I Mountd
|
|
keeps an in-core table,
|
|
which it uses to handle requests from programs like
|
|
.IR showmount (1)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR shutdown (1M).

|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Although the
|
|
.I rmtab
|
|
table is close to the truth,
|
|
it is not always 100% accurate.
