mountd
is an RPC server that answers requests for NFS
access information and file system mount requests. It reads the file
/etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file systems are
available for mounting by which remote machines. See
sharetab(5).
nfsd
running on the local server will contact
mountd
the first time an NFS client tries to access
the file system to determine whether the client should get read-write,
read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on the security mode
used in the remoted procedure call from the client. See
share_nfs(8).
The command also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the showmount(8) command.
The mountd
daemon is automatically invoked
by share(8).
Only super user can run the mountd daemon.
See nfs(5) for available
configuration properties for mountd
.
mountd
must be running for
nfsd
to function properly,
mountd
is automatically started by the
svc:/network/nfs/server service. See
nfs(5).
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.
