Using the NFS automounter

Updating the mount table

If you use umount to unmount explicitly one of the automounted resources, you must have the automounter reread the /etc/mnttab file to update the internal database used by the automounter.

This can be accomplished by sending the SIGHUP signal to the automount daemon.

To update the mount table, do the following:

  1. Find out the automount's process ID (PID) number by entering:

    ps -ef | grep automount

    The second field contains the PID number.

  2. Enter the following command:

    kill -1 pid

    where pid is the automount PID.
