AUTOMOUNT(8) |
NAME
automount —
update autofs mounts
SYNOPSIS
automount |
[ -D name=value][ -L][ -f][ -o options][ -v][ -u] |
DESCRIPTION
When called without options, the
automount command parses the
auto_master(5) configuration file and any direct maps that it references, and mounts or unmounts
autofs(4) filesystems to match. These options are available:
-
-D
-
Define a variable. It is only useful with
-L.
-
-L
-
Do not mount or unmount anything. Instead parse
auto_master(5) and any direct maps, then print them to standard output. When specified more than once, all the maps, including indirect ones, will be parsed and shown. This is useful when debugging configuration problems.
-
-f
-
Force unmount, to be used with
-u.
-
-o
-
Specify mount options to be used along with the ones specified in the maps. It is only useful with
-L.
-
-u
-
Try to unmount filesystems mounted by
automountd(8).
autofs(5) mounts are not unmounted. To unmount all
autofs mounts, use
umount -At autofs.
-
-v
-
Increase verbosity.
EXIT STATUS
The
automount utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Unmount all filesystems mounted by
automountd(8):
automount -u
