Please be careful using showmount -e as the only method of monitoring a
NAS appliance. If you do actually mount the exported filesystems as
part of the monitoring, that's better.
I've run across NFS servers where it was responding to showmount
requests, but mountd had died, so it was not allowing any new mounts.
