Description

Automatically mounts filesystems on demand using the Linux kernel automounter. It is useful for network shares, removable storage, and environments where mounts should appear only when accessed.

Automount rules can affect file access, network credentials, and boot behavior. Test maps carefully and avoid exposing sensitive network shares to users who should not access them.

How to run

autofs.service
