showmount

Show remote NFS mounts on host

Syntax:

showmount [-ade] [host]

Options:

-a
List all mountpoints in this form: host:dirpath
-d
Instead of printing the names of hosts, list the directory paths of mountpoints.
-e
Show the host's exports list.
host
The name of a host (default is this host).

Description:

The showmount utility shows status information about the NFS server on the specified host. By default, it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS filesystems mounted on that host.

Caveats:

Because the NFS server is stateless, mount information is approximate. The showmount utility displays this information as accurately as the nfsd daemon reports it.
