-h, --help | |
Print brief help on program usage. | |
-p, --pid-file | |
Write the pid of the daemon to the specified file. | |
-t, --timeout | |
Set the global minimum timeout, in seconds, until directories are unmounted. The default is 10 minutes. Setting the timeout to zero disables umounts completely. | |
-n <seconds>, --negative-timeout <seconds> | |
Set the default timeout for caching failed key lookups. The default is 60 seconds. | |
-v, --verbose | |
Enables logging of general status and progress messages for all autofs managed mounts. | |
-d, --debug | |
Enables logging of general status and progress messages as well as debuging messages for all autofs managed mounts. | |
-Dvariable=value | |
Define a global macro substitution variable. Global definitions are over-ridden macro definitions of the same name specified in mount entries. | |
-f, --foreground | |
Run the daemon in the forground and log to stderr instead of syslog." | |
-r, --random-multimount-selection | |
Enables the use of ramdom selection when choosing a host from a list of replicated servers. | |
-O, --global-options | |
Allows the specification of global mount options used for all master map entries. These options will either replace or be appened to options given in a master map entry depending on the APPEND_OPTIONS configuration setting. | |
-V, --version | |
Display the version number, then exit. | |
-l, --set-log-priority priority path [path,...] | |
Set the daemon log priority to the specified value. Valid values include the numbers 0-7, or the strings emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, or debug. Log level debug will log everything, log levels info, warn (or warning), or notice with enable the daemon verbose logging. Any other level will set basic logging. Note that enabling debug or verbose logging in the autofs global configuration will override dynamic log level changes. For example, if verbose logging is set in the configuration then attempting to set logging to basic logging, by using alert, crit, err or emerg wont stop the verbose logging. However, setting logging to debug will lead to everything (debug logging) being logged witch can then also be disabled, returning the daemon to verbose logging. |

master_map | |
Location for autofs master map that defines autofs managed mount points and the mount maps they will use. The default is /etc/auto.master. |
If any autofs mount point directories are busy when the daemon is sent an exit signal the daemon will not exit. The exception to this is if autofs has been built with configure options to either ignore busy mounts at exit or force umount at exit. If the ignore busy mounts at exit option is used the filesystems will be left in a catatonic (non-functional) state and can be manually umounted when they become unused. If the force umount at exit option is used the filesystems will be umounted but the mount will not be released by the kernel until they are no longer in use by the processes that held them busy. If automount managed filesystems are found mounted when autofs is started they will be recoverd unless they are no longer present in the map in which case they need to umounted manually.
The documentation could be better.
