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