NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.04) March 2009

This command lists the process IDs and user names of everyone using the mounted
directory.
2. Warn all users to exit the directory. Terminate processes that are using the directory,
or wait until the processes terminate. Enter the following command to kill all the
processes that are using the mounted directory:
/usr/sbin/fuser -ck local_mount_point
3. Use an editor to modify the direct or indirect map.
4. If you removed all the entries in the direct or indirect map, remove that map’s
entry in the master map.
5. If you made any changes to the master map, or if you added or modified a local
mount-point in a direct map, enter the following command to force AutoFS to
reread its maps:
/usr/sbin/automount
CAUTION: You must maintain filesystems managed by AutoFS, by using the
automountd and automount utilities. Manually mounting and unmounting file
systems managed by AutoFS can cause disruptive or unpredictable results, including
but not limited to commands hanging or not returning expected results. Applications
can also fail because of their dependencies on these mounted filesystems.
Verifying the AutoFS Configuration
This section describes how to verify the AutoFS configuration.
To verify the configuration, follow these steps:
1. Enter the following command to change the current working directory to an
automounted directory:
/usr/bin/cd local_directory
where:
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
