.SH NAME
rpc.mountd \- NFS mount daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
adds an entry to the
.B /var/lib/nfs/rmtab
file. When receiving an unmount request, that entry is removed.
-user level part of the NFS service.
.P
However, this file is mostly ornamental. One, the client can continue
to use the file handle even after calling
to bind to the specified port num, instead of using the random port
number assigned by the portmapper.
.TP
+.B \-H " or " \-\-ha-callout prog
+Specify a high availability callout program, which will receive callouts
+for all client mount and unmount requests. This allows
+.B rpc.mountd
+to be used in a High Availability NFS (HA-NFS) environment. This callout is not
+needed (and should not be used) with 2.6 and later kernels (instead,
+mount the nfsd filesystem on
+.B /proc/fs/nfsd
+).
+The program will be called with 4 arguments.
+The first will be
+.B mount
+or
+.B unmount
+depending on the reason for the callout.
+The second will be the name of the client performing the mount.
+The third will be the path that the client is mounting.
+The last is the number of concurrent mounts that we believe the client
+has of that path.
+.TP
+.BI "\-P," "" " \-\-state\-directory\-path " directory
+specify a directory in which to place statd state information.
+If this option is not specified the default of
+.BR /var/lib/nfs
+is used. (This is a Debian-specific extension.)
+.TP
.B \-V " or " \-\-nfs-version
This option can be used to request that
.B rpc.mountd
