90 Issues a command to the remote mountd declaring that
92 of its file systems have been unmounted.
93 This should be used with caution, as it removes all
94 remote mount entries pertaining to the local system, whether or not any

179 a heuristic specific to SunOS is used to determine whether such a mount
180 is actual (replacing the string
184 and verifying the resulting path).
186 Symbolic links on the server will cause the path in the remote entry to differ
189 To catch those cases, a file system is also deemed mounted if its
191 mount point is identical to the remote entry.
192 I.e., on a SunOS diskless client,
193 .Pa server:/export/share/sunos.4.1.1
196 Since the local mount point is
198 as well this will be handled correctly.
200 There is no way to clear a stale entry in a remote
203 local hostname (or whatever reverse name resolution returns for it)
205 To take care of these cases,
208 file has to be edited and
214 calls can only be changed by recompiling.
