Global Configuration

/etc/auto.master

The auto.master file is the key file which is used to define what gets mounted where. The first column tells autofs where to mount, the second option tells it the filename of the configuration file for that mount location, and the third column lets you pass parameters to the autofs mount action.

Example:

/mnt/usb4bay            /etc/auto.usb4bay       --timeout=600
/media                  /etc/auto.media         --timeout=1800
/mnt/usbbackup          /etc/auto.usbbackup     --timeout=300
/mnt/usbmediabkp        /etc/auto.usbmediabkp   --timeout=300

/etc/auto.something

For each entry in /etc/auto.master you will have one configuration file (named whatever you want).

Example: auto.media
