Welcome to Icon Disti GhostBSD.png /etc/autofs/.

Introduction

The automounter configuration consists of the auto_master configuration file, which assigns filesystem paths to map names, and maps, which contain actual mount information. The auto_master configuration file is used by the automount(8) command. Map files are read by the automountd(8) daemon. It is possible to add custom special maps by adding them, as executable maps named special_foo, to the /etc/autofs/ directory.
