NAME

autofs — automount configuration properties

DESCRIPTION

The behavior of the automount(8) command and the automountd(8) daemon is controlled by property values that are stored in the Service Management Facility, smf(7). The sharectl(8) command should be used to query or change values for these properties.

Changes made to autofs property values on an automount or automountd command line override the values set using sharectl(8).

The following list describes the properties:

timeout=num

Specifies a duration, in seconds, that a file system is to remain mounted when not in use. The default value is 600 (10 minutes). Equivalent to the -t option in automount.

automount_verbose=true|false

Verbose mode. Causes you to be notified of non-critical events, such as autofs mounts and unmounts. The default value is false. Equivalent to the -v option in automount.

automountd_verbose=true|false

Verbose mode. Causes status messages to be logged to the svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default log file. The default value is false. Equivalent to the -v option in automountd.

nobrowse=true|false

Turn on or off browsing for all autofs mount points. The default value is false. Equivalent to the -n option in automountd.

trace=num

Expands each RPC call and logs it to svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default log file. The default value, 0, turns off such tracing. Starting with 1, with each higher value, the verbosity of trace output increases.

environment=name=value[,name=value]...

Specifies a comma separated list of environment variables. If an environment variable has more than one value, those values should be separated with a comma, preceded by a backslash as an escape character ("\,"). For example:

VAR1=val1,VAR2=val2\,val3
