Setting advanced automount map options
The sections
``Creating master automount maps''
and
``Creating indirect and direct automount maps''
provide examples for creating master, direct, and indirect
automount maps in their basic and simplest form.
automount provides advanced configuration options for use in these maps
to ease maintenance, improve automount performance, and provide
additional automount capabilities:
``Using built-in automount maps'' illustrates how to specify automount built-in maps for added capabilities.
``Optimizing subdirectory mounting'' explains the use of the ``subdirectory'' field in direct and indirect maps for improved automount performance.
``Simplifying map syntax'' explains the use of substitution characters in maps to ease maintenance.
``Mounting directories from other operating systems'' shows how to incorporate unconventional (for UNIX systems) syntax in automount maps.
``Specifying redundant servers'' illustrates how specifying redundant servers improves resource availability.
``Using multiple direct mounts'' explains how using multiple mounts improves resource access.
