autofs

AUTOFS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							 AUTOFS(5)

NAME

     autofs -- automounter filesystem

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel configuration file:

	   options AUTOFS

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   autofs_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The autofs driver is the kernel component of the automounter infrastructure.  Its job is to pass mount requests to the automountd(8) daemon,
     and pause the processes trying to access the automounted filesystem until the mount is completed.	It is mounted by the automount(8).

OPTIONS

     These options are available when mounting autofs file systems:

     master_options
	     Mount options for all filesystems specified in the map entry.

     master_prefix
	     Filesystem mountpoint prefix.

EXAMPLES

     To unmount all mounted autofs filesystems:

	   umount -At autofs

     To mount autofs filesystems specified in auto_master(5):

	   automount

SEE ALSO

     auto_master(5), automount(8), automountd(8), autounmountd(8)

HISTORY

     The autofs driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.1.

AUTHORS

     The autofs was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
