On startup, .Nm forks into background and waits for kernel requests. When a request is received, .Nm forks a child process. The child process parses the appropriate map and mounts filesystems accordingly. Then it signals the kernel to release blocked processes that were waiting for the mount. l -tag -width ".Fl v" t Fl D Define a variable. t Fl i For indirect mounts, only create subdirectories if there are no wildcard entries. Without .Fl i , .Nm creates all the subdirectories it can. Users may not realize that the wildcard map entry makes it possible to access directories that have not yet been created. t Fl m Ar maxproc Limit the number of forked .Nm processes, and thus the number of mount requests being handled in parallel. The default is 30. t Fl d Debug mode: increase verbosity and do not daemonize. t Fl o Ar options Specify mount options. Options specified here will be overridden by options entered in maps or .Xr auto_master 5 . t Fl v Increase verbosity. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr auto_master 5 , .Xr autofs 5 , .Xr automount 8 , .Xr autounmountd 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm daemon appeared in .Fx 10.1 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm was developed by .An Edward Tomasz Napierala Aq Mt trasz@FreeBSD.org under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
