fixmount - fix remote mount entries
fixmount [ -adervq ] [ -h name ] host ...
fixmount is a variant of showmount(8) that can delete bogus mount
entries in remote mountd(8) daemons. The actions specified by the
options are performed for each host in turn.
- -a -d -e
- These options work as in showmount(8) except that only entries
pertaining to the local host are printed.
- -r
- Removes those remote mount entries on host that do not correspond
to current mounts, i.e., which are left-over from a crash or are the
result of improper mount protocol.
- -v
- Verify remote mounts. Similar to -r except that only a notification
message is printed for each bogus entry found. The remote mount table is
not changed.
- -A
- Issues a command to the remote mountd declaring that ALL of its
filesystems have been unmounted. This should be used with caution, as it
removes all remote mount entries pertaining to the local system, whether
or not any filesystems are still mounted locally.
- -q
- Be quiet. Suppresses error messages due to timeouts and "Program not
registered", i.e., due to remote hosts not supporting RPC or not
running mountd.
- -h name
- Pretend the local hostname is name. This option also saves time as
comparisons of remotely recorded and local hostnames by address are
avoided.

The RPC timeouts for mountd calls can only be changed by recompiling. The
defaults are 2 seconds for client handle creation and 5 seconds for RPC calls.
