rmtab - remote mounted file system table
/etc/rmtab
/etc/rmtab maintains the list of client mount points between server
reboots. The list of client mount points can be obtained by using the
remote procedure call, or by using the UNIX showmount(1) command. When the
server successfully executes a mount request from a client, the server
appends a new entry to the file. When the client issues an unmount
request, the corresponding entry is marked as unused. When the server
reboots, unused entries are deleted from the file.
Entries may become stale if clients crash without sending an unmount
request. The file may be removed before rebooting the server in which case
the server will lose information about any active client mount entries on
reboot.
