NFS Volume Mount Client Listing

Hi Guys,

probably a few times a week I get asked "what servers mount that volume" as the mount points on our linux servers are often named differently from the volumes themselves.  for example

corporate-websites-htmlt:/vol/CORPWEBSERVICES_HTML

                      41943040   2183648  39759392   6% /lamp_website_home

So everybody but myself and the other guys who deal with the storage know this volume as '/lamp_website_home' and when I raise an incident around the volume filling up they do not know what I'm talking about.  This is where the difficulty comes in.  I have no way of saying "check server 1234 as i know that currently has the volume mounted" to point them in the direction of a server currently mounting this volume. 

So the only way for them to know what volume I'm raising an incident about is by logging onto a lot of servers to see what the volume is known as in their world.  Then they can find out who owns the data in there and chat to them about clearing some out.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows any command or other way to get a lits of what IP's are currently mounting a volume via NFS?

We're currently running OnTAP 8.1.3(CMODE) and 8.2(CMODE) on our clusters.

Cheers

Chris
