To enable AutoFS, follow these steps: In the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, set the value of AUTOFS variables
to 1, as follows: Configure AutoFS using either the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf or the /etc/default/autofs configuration files.
If you use a local file as the master map, ensure that the AUTO_MASTER variable in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf is set to the name of the master map, as follows: AUTO_MASTER=”/etc/auto_master” |
If the -f option is not specified for the automount command then the Name Service Switch (NSS) is
used to get the master map. If the master map is not found in any
of the backends, then it tries the default master map name/etc/auto_master. If the -f option
is specified for the automount command, then it
uses that file irrespective of what the backend says. However, if
the file is not found, then it will try the /etc/auto_master file. If you use an NIS AutoFS master map, ensure that -f $AUTO_MASTER is not present in the AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS variable. To run the AutoFS startup script, enter the following
command: /sbin/init.d/autofs start |
