Obtaining NFS information

Displaying remote resources with dfshares

To display the available resources shared by remote servers, use the following command:

dfshares [-F nfs] [-h] [server ...]

server is the name of the machine whose shared resources you want displayed. If not specified, the command displays the shared resources of the local machine.

If NFS is the only file sharing package you have installed, you can omit the -F option.

Unless it is suppressed with the -h option, the output from the dfshares command is preceded by the header:

   RESOURCE    SERVER    ACCESS    TRANSPORT

The information under the column header RESOURCE is of the form server:pathname and under SERVER is the name of the server sharing the resource.

At this time, NFS does not populate the ACCESS and TRANSPORT fields; a hyphen appears in place of access and transport information.

See the dfshares(1nfs) manual page for more information.
