autofs
is wonderful. Kudus to Edward Tomasz Napierała et al.I would like some help understanding how to use the
-media
special map. This is for a desktop with a multitude of removable media devices. I have been able to find:- an example in /etc/auto_master with a tantalizing instruction to enable the
automount -c
example found in /etc/devd.conf (pretty clear the devd.conf example block needs to be tweaked somehow?).
- a brief reference to
-media
in auto_master(5)() in the SPECIAL MAPS section which suggests that this is, indeed, the option I want. - grep'ing the contents of /usr/src/usr.sbin/autofs for the string "media" only hits on the man source.
- the
-media
map does not appear to exist inautofs
implementations for other OS'en where I have checked (e.g. OSX, Arch, Ubuntu)
