automountd
AUTOMOUNTD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual AUTOMOUNTD(8)NAME
automountd -- daemon handling autofs mount requests
SYNOPSIS
automountd [-D name=value] [-i] [-m maxproc] [-o options] [-d] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The automountd daemon is responsible for handling autofs(5) mount requests, parsing maps, and mounting filesystems they specify. On startup,
automountd forks into background and waits for kernel requests. When a request is received, automountd forks a child process. The child
process parses the appropriate map and mounts filesystems accordingly. Then it signals the kernel to release blocked processes that were
waiting for the mount.
-D Define a variable.
-i For indirect mounts, only create subdirectories if there are no wildcard entries. Without -i, automountd creates all the subdirectories
it can. Users may not realize that the wildcard map entry makes it possible to access directories that have not yet been created.
-m maxproc
Limit the number of forked automountd processes, and thus the number of mount requests being handled in parallel. The default is 30.
-d Debug mode: increase verbosity and do not daemonize.
-o options
Specify mount options. Options specified here ill be overridden by options entered in maps or auto_master(5).
-v Increase verbosity.
EXIT STATUS
The automountd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO auto_master(5), autofs(5), automount(8), autounmountd(8)HISTORY
The automountd daemon appeared in FreeBSD 10.1.
AUTHORS
The automountd was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
