FIXMOUNT(8) System Manager's Manual FIXMOUNT(8)
NAME
fixmount - fix remote mount entries
SYNOPSIS
fixmount [ -adervq ] [ -h name ] host ...
DESCRIPTION
fixmount is a variant of showmount(8) that can delete bogus mount en-
tries in remote mountd(8) daemons. The actions specified by the op-
tions are performed for each host in turn.
OPTIONS
-a -d -e
These options work as in showmount(8) except that only entries
pertaining to the local host are printed.
-r Removes those remote mount entries on host that do not corre-
spond to current mounts, i.e., which are left-over from a crash
or are the result of improper mount protocol.
-v Verify remote mounts. Similar to -r except that only a notifi-
cation message is printed for each bogus entry found. The re-
mote mount table is not changed.
-A Issues a command to the remote mountd declaring that ALL of its
filesystems have been unmounted. This should be used with cau-
tion, as it removes all remote mount entries pertaining to the
local system, whether or not any filesystems are still mounted
locally.
-q Be quiet. Suppresses error messages due to timeouts and "Pro-
gram not registered", i.e., due to remote hosts not supporting
RPC or not running mountd.
-h name
Pretend the local hostname is name. This option also saves time
as comparisons of remotely recorded and local hostnames by ad-
dress are avoided.

BUGS
The RPC timeouts for mountd calls can only be changed by recompiling.
The defaults are 2 seconds for client handle creation and 5 seconds for
RPC calls.
