If you set the timeout to 60 seconds, the automount daemon will wake up approximately every 15 seconds (4 times per timeout, see CHECK_RATIO in the daemon) and ask the kernel if it is okay to expire the mount. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
