MOUNT_AUTOFS(8)         NetBSD System Manager's Manual         MOUNT_AUTOFS(8)


NAME

     mount_autofs -- mount automounter filesystem


SYNOPSIS

     mount_autofs [-f from] [-O master_options] [-o options] [-p prefix]
                  autofs mount_point


DESCRIPTION

     The mount_autofs command should not usually be called by admins.  Use
     automount(8) instead.

     The mount_autofs command attaches the automounter filesystem on the
     autofs device on to the file system tree at point mount_point.  Both
     autofs and mount_point are converted to absolute paths before use.

     This command is normally executed by automount(8).  The options are as
     follows:

     -f      Set the from location for autofs(5).  This argument is usually
             read from /etc/auto_master by automount(8).

     -o      Set the mount options.  See the mount(8) man page for possible
             options and their meanings.

     -O      Set the autofs(5) options.  See the [-options] in AUTO_MASTER
             SYNTAX of auto_master(5).

     -p      Set the autofs(5) prefix, below which the file system(s) will be
             mounted.
