SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel configuration file:
options AUTOFSAlternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

DESCRIPTION
Theautofs driver is the kernel component of the
automounter infrastructure. Its job is to pass mount requests to the
automountd(8) daemon, and pause the processes trying to access
the automounted filesystem until the mount is completed. It is mounted by the
automount(8).
OPTIONS
These options are available when mounting
autofs file systems:
master_options- Mount options for all filesystems specified in the map entry.
master_prefix- Filesystem mountpoint prefix.

HISTORY
The autofs driver first appeared in
FreeBSD 10.1. The autofs
driver first appeared in DragonFly 4.5.
AUTHORS
The autofs was developed by
Edward Tomasz Napierala
<trasz@FreeBSD.org>
under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
The autofs was ported to
DragonFly by
Tomohiro Kusumi

Donated to DragonFlyBSD by PeerCorps Trust Fund.
BUGS
The autofs driver on
DragonFly currently does't support
vfs.autofs.mount_on_stat sysctl. This sysctl is
disabled by default on both FreeBSD and
DragonFly, but enabling it does nothing on
DragonFly.
