|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon is responsible for handling
|
|
.Xr autofs 5
|
|
mount requests, parsing maps,
|
|
and mounting filesystems they specify.
|
|
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.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl v"
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Define a variable.
|
|
.It 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.
|
|
.It 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.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Debug mode: increase verbosity and do not daemonize.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar options
|
|
Specify mount options.
|
|
Options specified here will be overridden by options entered in maps or
|
|
.Xr auto_master 5 .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Increase verbosity.
