automount — mount
autofs on the appropriate mount points
automount |
[-v] [-c]
[-u] [-t
timeout] |
automount reads the
/etc/auto_master file, and any local or network maps
it includes, and mounts autofs on the appropriate mount points to cause
mounts to be triggered. If the auto_master file does not exist or is empty
and a Directory Service is configured, the service will be queried for an
auto_master map. It will also attempt to unmount any top-level autofs mounts
that correspond to maps no longer found.
-v- Print more detailed information about actions taken by
automount.
-c- Tell automountd(8) to flush any cached information it
has.
-u- Unmount all non-busy automounted mounts. Top-level triggers are
preserved.
-t
timeout- Set to timeout seconds the time after which an
automounted file system will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to
within that period of time. The default is 1 hour (3600 seconds).
- /etc/autofs.conf
