Amd
is a daemon that automatically mounts filesystems
whenever a file or directory
within that filesystem is accessed.
Filesystems are automatically unmounted when they
appear to have become quiescent.
Amd
operates by attaching itself as an
server to each of the specified
directories .
Lookups within the specified directories
are handled by
amd ,
which uses the map defined by
mapname
to determine how to resolve the lookup.
Generally, this will be a host name, some filesystem information
and some mount options for the given filesystem.
In the first form depicted above,
amd
will print a short help string. In the second form, if no options are
specified, or the
-F
is used,
amd
will read configuration parameters from the file
conf_file
which defaults to
/etc/amd.conf .
The last form is described below.
