AUTOMOUNTD(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures AUTOMOUNTD(8)
NAME
automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon
SYNOPSIS
automountd [
-nTv] [
-D name=
value]
DESCRIPTION
automountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount
requests from the
autofs file system. It uses local files or name
service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are
described with the
automount(8) command.
If
automount finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or
distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already,
the
automountd daemon is automatically invoked by
automount(8).
automountd enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service (
lockd(8)),
and the svc:/network/nfs/status service (
statd(8)), if NFS mounts need
to be done.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-D name=
value Assign
value to the indicated
automount map substitution
variable. These assignments cannot be used to substitute
variables in the master map
auto_master.
-n Turn off browsing for all
autofs mount points. This option
overrides the
-browse autofs map option on the local host.
-T Trace. Expand each RPC call and display it on the standard
output.
-v Verbose. Log status messages to the console.
USAGE
See
largefile(7) for the description of the behavior of
automountd when
encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2^31 bytes).
FILES
/etc/auto_master Master map for automounter.

The
automountd service is managed by the service management facility,
smf(7), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/filesystem/autofs
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
requesting restart, can be performed using
svcadm(8). The service's
status can be queried using
svcs(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled
by
automount(8) unless the
application/
auto_enable property is set to
false.
