MOUNTD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MOUNTD(8)
NAME
mountd - service remote NFS mount requests
SYNOPSIS
mountd [-d] [exportsfile]
DESCRIPTION
mountd is the server for NFS mount requests from other client machines.
mountd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS
server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC
1094, Appendix A and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol
Specification, RFC 1813, Appendix I.
The options are as follows:
-d Enable debugging mode. mountd will not detach from the
controlling terminal and will print debugging messages to stderr.
exportsfile
The exportsfile argument specifies an alternate location for the
exports file.
When mountd is started, it loads the export host addresses and options
into the kernel using the mount(2) system call. After changing the
exports file, a hangup signal should be sent to the mountd daemon to get
it to reload the export information. After sending the SIGHUP (kill -HUP
`cat /var/run/mountd.pid`), check the syslog output to see if mountd
logged any parsing errors in the exports file.
FILES
/etc/exports list of exported filesystems
/var/db/mountdtab list of exported filesystems currently mounted
/var/run/mountd.pid PID of the currently running mountd
SEE ALSO

HISTORY
The mountd utility first appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno.
The -n flag historically allowed clients to use non-reserved ports when
communicating with mountd. In OpenBSD, a reserved port is always used.
