Using the NFS automounter

Invoking the automounter

Once the maps are written, make sure that there are no equivalent entries in /etc/vfstab and that all the entries in the maps refer to NFS shared resources. Then, invoke the automounter, using the following command syntax:

automount [-mnTv] [-D name=value] [-M mount-directory] \
[-f master-file] [-t sub-options] [directory map \
[-mount-options]] ...

Using this syntax, the automounter can be invoked in any of the following ways (for the components indirect_map, direct_map and master_map, substitute the appropriate filenames):

See the automount(NADM) manual page for a complete description of options. The sub-options are the same as those for NFS mount, with the exception of bg (background) and fg (foreground), which do not apply.
