I am not sure but it may be /var/db/mountdtab or something like that.
mountd in 2.0 puts information in /etc/exports files, and it
moveing the info into /var, is, of course more then welcome from my own
point of view.

No, mtab keeps data about currently mounted _local_ file systems.

Of course I know it -- just enought to see umountfs script.

I agree, in case of _diskless_ and _low memory_ it is the only solution.
