Time-setting for Automount/AutoFS

[Santanu Bhadra]

While using Automount/AutoFS, a nfs-mounted directory gets automatically unmounted if not used for five minutes(by default, I guess).

Can anyone tell me where is this time setting so that I can modify the same for my server?

Thanks to all of you in advance!

hey,

There is an option '-t' for doing this:

#automount -t duration ..

check man automount !

hey,

again ....

Set this '-t' in the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file. There is an option called "AUTO_OPTIONS". Edit this and include '-t duration' in the option list

HTH,
