Translations:Using autofs (automount) with NFS/31/en

In auto.master we write:

  • the base folder where mounts are connected to the local filesystem
  • the name of the file in which the mount can be configured
  • a timeout value (time after which the mount is automatically unmounted when not needed anymore)
  • ghost, an option which places empty folders in the base folder to make it possible, after the time-out, to mount the device again.
