Is there a way, on a server, to discover how many clients are currently attached to a NFS file share?
I'd like to be able to see a list of the clients that have "my" NFS share mounted.
It's my understanding /usr/sbin/exportfs gives a list but it is not reliable as it depends on clients un-mounting the share properly.
I suppose the nature of NFS makes it impossible to maintain/calculate an accurate client list, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Have a look at /var/lib/nfs/rmtab and other files in /var/lib/nfs/
/usr/sbin/showmount will give you a list of IP's connected.
Neither of these are reliable. They pick up new client mounts ok but do not reliably remove the entries when the clients umount the share.
