Hi,
this is a bit off-topic, but I figured someone on this list
will know the answer: is there a way from an NFS client system to
discover all of the NFS filesystems exported by a remote server?
I'm trying to establish some monitoring for a NAS appliance, and I'd
like to have one of our servers "automagically" mount all the exported
filesystems - hopefully to prevent missing when a new one export is
added or removed.
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.
only last night I encountered a problem, I can see part of the hierarchy
into the directory tree, but not all of it. Eg
/home is mounted
/home/summer is visible.
/home/summer/something is visible, but nothing deeper.
I've not figured that one out yet.
