45.Dt FIXMOUNT 8
46.Os
47.Sh NAME
48.Nm fixmount
49.Nd fix remote mount entries
50.Sh SYNOPSIS
51.Nm
52.Op Fl adervq
53.Op Fl h Ar name
54.Ar host
55\&...
56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57.Nm
58is a variant of
59.Xr showmount 8
60that can delete bogus mount entries in remote
61.Xr mountd 8
62daemons. The actions specified by the options are performed for each
63.Ar host
64in turn.
65.Sh OPTIONS
66.Bl -tag -width Ds
67.It Fl a Fl d Fl e
68These options work as in
69.Xr showmount 8
70except that only entries pertaining to the local host are printed.
71.It Fl r
72Removes those remote mount entries on
73.Ar host
74that do not correspond to current mounts, i.e., which are left-over
75from a crash or are the result of improper mount protocol.
76The actuality of mounts is verified using the entries in
77.Pa /etc/mtab .
78.It Fl v
79Verify remote mounts. Similar to
80.Fl r
81except that only a notification message is printed for each bogus entry
82found. The remote mount table is not changed.
83.It Fl A
84Issues a command to the remote mountd declaring that
85.Em all
86of its file systems have been unmounted. This should be used with caution, as
87it removes all remote mount entries pertaining to the local system, whether or
88not any file systems are still mounted locally.
89.It Fl v
90Be quiet. Suppresses error messages due to timeouts and
91.Dq Program not Registered ,
92i.e., due to remote hosts not supporting RPC or not running
93.Nm mountd .
94.It Fl h Ar name
95Pretend the local hostname is
96.Ar name .
97This is useful after the local hostname has been changed and rmtab entries
98using the old name remain on a remote machine.
99Unfortunately, most mountd's won't be able to successfully handle removal
100of such entries, so this option is useful in combination with
101.Fl v
102only.
103.Pp
104This option also saves time as comparisons of remotely recorded and local
105hostnames by address are avoided.
106.El
107.Sh FILES
108.Bl -tag -width /axx
109.It Pa /etc/mtab
110List of current mounts.
111.It Pa /etc/rmtab
112Backup file for remote mount entries on
113.Tn NFS
114server.
115.El
116.Sh SEE ALSO
117.Xr mtab 5 ,
118.Xr rmtab 5 ,
119.Xr mountd 8 ,
120.Xr showmount 8
121.Sh BUGS
122No attempt is made to verify the information in
123.Pa /etc/mtab
124itself.
125.Pp
126Since swap file mounts are not recorded in
127.Pa /etc/mtab ,
128a heuristic specific to SunOS is used to determine whether such a mount
129is actual (replacing the string
130.Ql swap
131with
132.Ql root
133and verifying the resulting path).
134.Pp
135Symbolic links on the server will cause the path in the remote entry to differ
136from the one in
137.Pa /etc/mtab .
138To catch those cases, a file system is also deemed mounted if its
139.Em local
140mount point is identical to the remote entry.
141I.e., on a SunOS diskless client,
142.Pa server:/export/share/sunos.4.1.1
143is actually
144.Pa /usr/share .
145Since the local mount point is
146.Pa /usr/share
147as well this will be handled correctly.
148.Pp
149There is no way to clear a stale entry in a remote
150.Nm mountd
151after the local hostname (or whatever reverse name resolution
152returns for it) has been changed. To take care of these cases,
153the remote
154.Pa /etc/rmtab
155file has to be edited and
156.Nm mountd
157restarted.
158.Pp
159The RPC timeouts for
160.Nm mountd
161calls can only be changed by recompiling. The defaults are 2 seconds
162for client handle creation and 5 seconds for RPC calls.
