    Not that I'm aware of, but you can look in /etc/rmtab on the filer for
    that same info. Or you can run showmount from a client and give the
    server name, such as

    UNIX# showmount -a filer

    BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS CAVEAT:

    There is no reliable way to tell who all your clients are at any
    given time. NFS is stateless. Clients can come and go and they
    don't always leave nicely and do a clean umount so the entries tend
    to stay in /etc/rmtab for much longer than they should.

    If you want to see who the top 5 or so clients are, you can always
    use the option nfs.per_client_stats and then nfsstat -l and you'll
    get an idea of who your busiest clients are and presumably they are
    still mounted.

    The only showmount option that I have found to be truly reliable is
    the -e options which shows you what is exported from a particular box.

    Hope this helps.
