An automounter maintains a cache of mounted file systems. File systems
|
||
|
|
are mounted on demand when they are first referenced, and unmounted
|
||
|
|
after a period of inactivity. This helps to centralize all file system
|
||
|
|
access, provide a uniform site-wide namespace, and minimize downtimes
|
||
|
|
for clients. The Berkeley Automounter, Amd, may be used as a
|
||
|
|
replacement for Sun's automounter.
