Monitoring NFS mounts

This is my usual go-to for NFS monitoring: https://github.com/echocat/nagios-plugin-check_mountpoints/blob/master/check_mountpoints.sh

Subject: Monitoring NFS mounts


Before I start writing code that might be reinventing the wheel... does anyone have a favourite method for monitoring the presence of an NFS mount?

check_disk is fine if the NFS volume is mounted and something goes wrong with it (like the NFS server going down) but gives a false positive if the volume simply isn't mounted.  In that case it gives an OK result based on the closest enclosing volume of the mount point.

For example, if I'm using check_disk to monitor an NFS volume mounted at /mnt/foo, it will correctly fail if the remote NFS server stops responding, but will report success if I 'umount /mnt/foo'.  In that case it'll report OK and give the stats for the root ("/") volume.
