rmtab contains a table of filesystems that are
remotely mounted by NFS clients. This file
is maintained by mountd(1M),
the mount daemon. The data in this file should be obtained only from mountd(1M) using
the MOUNTPROC_DUMP 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 mount 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 hash (' #') are commented
out. These lines are removed from the file by mountd(1M) when it first starts up.
Stale entries may accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount
request.
