MOUNT_AUTOFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT_AUTOFS(8)

mount_autofsmount automounter filesystem

mount_autofs [-f from] [-O master_options] [-o options] [-p prefix] autofs mount_point

The mount_autofs command should not usually be called by admins. Use automount(8) instead.

The mount_autofs command attaches the automounter filesystem on the autofs device on to the file system tree at point mount_point. Both autofs and mount_point are converted to absolute paths before use.

This command is normally executed by automount(8). The options are as follows:

Set the from location for autofs(5). This argument is usually read from /etc/auto_master by automount(8).
Set the mount options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings.
Set the autofs(5) options. See the [-options] in AUTO_MASTER SYNTAX of auto_master(5).
Set the autofs(5) prefix, below which the file system(s) will be mounted.

autofs(5), fstab(5), automount(8), mount(8)
