Description
"nfs-utils" provides a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools. This package also contains the "showmount" program. "showmount" queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the NFS server on the remote host. For example, "showmount" can display the clients that are mounted on that host.
