NAME
automount —
update autofs mounts
SYNOPSIS
automount |
[-cfLuv]
[-D
name=value]
[-o
options] |
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(5) file systems
to match. These options are available:
-
-
- -c
- Flush caches, discarding possibly stale information
obtained from maps and directory services.
-
-
- -D
- Define a variable. It is only useful with
-L.
-
-
- -f
- Force unmount, to be used with -u.
-
-
- -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.
-
-
- -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 file systems mounted by
automountd(8).
autofs(5) mounts are not
unmounted. To unmount all
autofs(5) 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 file systems mounted by
automountd(8):
automount
-u
