NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.03) August 2008

local_directory is the configured mount-point in the AutoFS map.
2. Enter the following command to verify that the contents of the remote directory
are mounted under the local mount-point:
/usr/bin/ls
If the directory is configured in an indirect map, entering the ls command from the
parent directory displays potential mount-points (browsability). Changing to a
subdirectory configured in the indirect map or entering the command,
ls subdirectory, mounts the subdirectory.
The following example shows an indirect map configuration:
# /etc/auto_master file
# local mount-point map name mount options
/nfs/desktop /etc/auto_desktop
# /etc/auto_desktop file
# local mount-point mount options remote server:directory
draw -nosuid thyme:/export/apps/draw
write -nosuid basil:/export/write
Enter the following commands:
cd /nfs/desktop
ls
The ls command displays the following output:
draw write
The draw and write subdirectories are the potential mount-points (browsability), but
are not currently mounted. However, if you enter the following commands, both draw
and write subdirectories are mounted:
cd /nfs/desktop/write
cd /nfs/desktop/draw
If AutoFS does not mount the configured directories, see “Troubleshooting NFS
Services” (page 129).
Disabling AutoFS
This section describes how to disable AutoFS.
To disable AutoFS, follow these steps:
1. To run the AutoFS shutdown script, enter the following command:
/sbin/init.d/autofs stop
2. In the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, set the value of AUTOFS variable to 0,
as follows:
AUTOFS=0
