106 USAGE
107 Map Entry Format
108 A simple map entry (mapping) takes the form:
109
110 key [ -mount-options ] location ...
111
112
113
114
115 where key is the full pathname of the directory to mount when used in a
116 direct map, or the simple name of a subdirectory in an indirect map.
117 mount-options is a comma-separated list of mount options, and location
118 specifies a file system from which the directory may be mounted. In
119 the case of a simple NFS mount, the options that can be used are as
120 specified in mount_nfs(1M), and location takes the form:
121
122 host:pathname
123
124
125
126
127 host is the name of the host from which to mount the file system, and
128 pathname is the absolute pathname of the directory to mount.
129
130
131 Options to other file systems are documented on the other mount_*
132 reference manual pages, for example, mount_cachefs(1M).
133
134 Replicated File Systems
135 Multiple location fields can be specified for replicated NFS file
136 systems, in which case automount and the kernel will each try to use
137 that information to increase availability. If the read-only flag is set
138 in the map entry, automountd mounts a list of locations that the kernel
139 may use, sorted by several criteria. Only locations available at mount
140 time will be mounted, and thus be available to the kernel. When a
141 server does not respond, the kernel will switch to an alternate server.
142 The sort ordering of automount is used to determine how the next server
143 is chosen. If the read-only flag is not set, automount will mount the
144 best single location, chosen by the same sort ordering, and new servers
145 will only be chosen when an unmount has been possible, and a remount is
146 done. Servers on the same local subnet are given the strongest
147 preference, and servers on the local net are given the second strongest
148 preference. Among servers equally far away, response times will
149 determine the order if no weighting factors (see below) are used.
150
151
152 If the list includes server locations using both the NFS Version 2
302 the fstype option. The location field must contain information specific
303 to the file system type. If the location field begins with a slash, a
304 colon character must be prepended, for instance, to mount a CD file
305 system:
306
307 cdrom -fstype=hsfs,ro :/dev/sr0
308
309
310
311
312 or to perform an autofs mount:
313
314 src -fstype=autofs auto_src
315
316
317
318
319 Use this procedure only if you are not using Volume Manager.
320
321
322 Mounts using CacheFS are most useful when applied to an entire map as
323 map defaults. The following entry in the master map describes cached
324 home directory mounts. It assumes the default location of the cache
325 directory, /cache.
326
327 /home auto_home -fstype =cachefs,backfstype=nfs
328
329

331
332 See the NOTES section for information on option inheritance.
333
334 Indirect Maps
335 An indirect map allows you to specify mappings for the subdirectories
336 you wish to mount under the directory indicated on the command line. In
337 an indirect map, each key consists of a simple name that refers to one
338 or more file systems that are to be mounted as needed.
339
340 Direct Maps
341 Entries in a direct map are associated directly with autofs mount
342 points. Each key is the full pathname of an autofs mount point. The
343 direct map as a whole is not associated with any single directory.
344
345
346 Direct maps are distinguished from indirect maps by the /- key. For
347 example:
348
349 # Master map for automounter
350 #
351 +auto_master
469 /etc/auto_master
470 Master automount map.
471
472
473 /etc/auto_home
474 Map to support automounted home directories.
475
476
477 /etc/default/autofs
478 Supplies default values for parameters for
479 automount and automountd. See autofs(4).
480
481
482 /etc/nsswitch.conf
483 Name service switch configuration file. See
484 nsswitch.conf(4).

494 NOTES
495 autofs mount points must not be hierarchically related. automount does
496 not allow an autofs mount point to be created within another autofs
497 mount.
498
499
500 Since each direct map entry results in a new autofs mount such maps
501 should be kept short.
502
503
504 Entries in both direct and indirect maps can be modified at any time.
505 The new information is used when automountd next uses the map entry to
506 do a mount.
507
508
509 New entries added to a master map or direct map will not be useful
510 until the automount command is run to install them as new autofs mount

536 Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same.

539 The automount service is managed by the service management facility,
540 smf(5), under the service identifier:
541

547 Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
548 requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The service's
549 status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
