mountd
is the server for NFS mount
requests from other client machines.
mountd
makes all filesystems listed in
exports(5) available to NFS
clients, and then listens for mount 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, Appendix I.
Options and operands available for
mountd
:
-d
mountd
will not detach from
the controlling terminal and will print debugging messages to stderr.-N
-noresvport
-noresvmnt
’ on every export. See
exports(5) for more
information. Some operating systems (notably Mac OS X) require this
option.-P
policymountd
logs an error message and terminates
itself.-p
portmountd
to bind to the given port. If this
option is not given, mountd
may bind to every
anonymous port (in the range 600–1023) which causes trouble when
trying to use NFS through a firewall.When mountd
is started, it loads the
export host addresses and options into the kernel using the
nfssvc(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 -s HUP $(cat
/var/run/mountd.pid)
check the syslog output to see if mountd
logged any parsing errors in the exports file.
After receiving SIGTERM
,
mountd
sends a broadcast request to remove the mount
list from all the clients. This can take a long time, since the broadcast
request waits for each client to respond.

The mountd
utility first appeared in
4.4BSD.
