Hi all, I am currently looking at autofs, and I would be interested to know if there exist such a documentation. Namely, I am performing a kind of reverse-engineering on both the daemon and the kernel parts.
What I would like to understand, above all, is the detailed interaction scheme between automount and the kernel. I have understood that automount was receiving orders through a pipe, and replying with ioctls, but I still do not have the complete vision of the nature and timing of the messages. What are the respective responsibilities of both parts ? Also, I am still asking myself why a user daemon is used, and why not everything is not done in the kernel. Any help would be really appreciated ! Thanks, Thierry Bultel
