5. Enter the following commands to kill the AutoFS:
/sbin/init.d/autofs stop
CAUTION Do not kill the automountd daemon with the kill command. It does
not unmount AutoFS mount points before it dies. Use the
nfs.client stop script to ensure that automountd dies.
6. Add -v to AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS variable in the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, as in the following example:
AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS = “-v”
This change will enable AutoFS logging.
7. Enter the following commands to start AutoFS:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
To Stop AutoFS Logging
To stop AutoFS logging, kill AutoFS and restart it after removing “-v”
option from AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS.
