Description

The exports module determines if filesystems that should be shared currently are. The module reads the file specifying what should be exported (/etc/dfs/dfstab or /etc/exports) and compares the contents with the file specifying what is exported (/etc/dfs/sharetab, /etc/xtab, or /var/lib/nfs/etab).

If filesystem(s) is (are) specified, then those filesystems must be present in the file specifying what is exported. Otherwise, all filesystems listed in dfstab or exports must be found. Any expected filesystem that is not found in sharetab, xtab, or etab will generate a problem alert. Additionally, any filesystem under /cdrom found in dfstab or exports will generate a warning.

Note that the test used currently is rather basic: the file listing what should be exported is compared against the file listing what the OS thinks is exported. No verification is done beyond this, including whether it is exported with the correct options. This is subject to change in a future release.

Examples

  1. To verify all exported filesystems:
         module exports {}
         via remote
         
  2. To verify /export/share:
         module exports {
           filesystem /export/share
         }
         via remote
