automountd

NAME

       automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon

SYNOPSIS

       name=value]

DESCRIPTION

       is  an  RPC  server  that  answers file system mount and unmount requests from the filesystem.  It uses local files or name service maps to
       locate filesystems to be mounted.  These maps are described with the command (see automount(1M)).

       The daemon is automatically invoked if the variable is set to 1 in

   Options
       Trace.  Expand each
			 RPC call and display it to

       Verbose.  Log status messages to

       Turn off browsing for all
			 mount points.	This option overrides the map option on the local host.

       Force all mounts to the local host to be NFS mounts instead of
			 the default LOFS mounts.  This is necessary for highly available NFS mounts.

       Assign		 value to the indicated map substitution variable.  These assignments cannot be used to substitute variables in the master
			 map

   Tracing
       While is running, the signal can be sent to to turn tracing on. It logs messages in To turn tracing off, send the signal again.

RETURN VALUE

       returns:

	      0 successful

	      1 failure

EXAMPLES

       To turn on tracing, enter:

       or

       No messages are displayed by the trace.	Check the results in

WARNINGS

       Any filesystems that are being managed by should never be manually mounted or unmounted.  Even if the mount or unmount operation appears to
       complete successfully, the resulting change of state to the managed filesystem can lead to disruptive or unpredictable  results,  including
       but not limited to: commands hanging or not returning expected results, and applications failing due to their dependencies on those mounted
       filesystems.  A reboot may be necessary to resolve these issues.
