====== automount ====== Setting it up is fairly simple: you obviously need to have autofs(5) enabled in ''/etc/rc.conf'': autofs_enable="YES" And you need to have the autofs(5) daemons running - just like other deamons in FreeBSD those will get started at system bootup if autofs_enable was set; otherwise you need to start them by hand: # /etc/rc.d/automount start # /etc/rc.d/automountd start # /etc/rc.d/autounmountd start [[http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2015/03/freebsd-from-trenches-using-autofs5-to_13.html|FreeBSD From the Trenches: Using autofs(5) to Mount Removable Media]]
