Autofs

autofs is a kernel-based automounter for Linux. It performs a job similar to amd but relies on a small stub of kernel code instead of pretending to be an NFS server. The result is simpler code, better reliability, and much faster operation in the common case (everything already mounted). Autofs 4 adds support for automounting trees of exported filesystems via /net.

Rss Recent releases

Changes: This release supports "tree mounts", where a single key implies multiple mount points. This is particularly useful to support a universal mount point, frequently referred to (and mounted) as /net.

  • Rrelease-mid
  •  30 Jan 2001 06:12
  • Rrelease-after

Changes: This version should fix problems with local filesystems. If you are using a 2.4 series kernel, mount 2.10p (from the util-linux package) is highly recommended.

  • Rrelease-mid
  •  30 Jan 2001 06:12
  • Rrelease-after

Changes: This release includes LDAP lookup, adjusts bind mounts to util-linux 2.10o and linux-2.4.0-test*, fixes race in SIGCHLD, and "missing module name" in the multimount module.

  • Rrelease-mid
  •  30 Jan 2001 06:12
  • Rrelease-after

Changes: This version supports "bind" mounts introduced in linux-2.3.99-pre7.7 instead of using symlinks. If you are using a version of the Linux kernel which supports "bind" mounts, you will no longer see symlinks when mounting local filesystems.

  • Rrelease-mid
  •  30 Jan 2001 06:12
  • Rrelease-after

Changes: Unused scaffolding directories are now cleaned up if a mount doesn't complete. The rc scripts were fixed, and now include a more obvious place to put options for the daemon. The included RPM spec file now works. Adjustments were made to deal with autofs4 being in the standard 2.3 kernel.
