Hi Mark, You can specify the entries (in my case ISO files) in /etc/auto.master. Indeed then there is no timeout option. Or rather the default timeout in /etc/sysconfig/autofs is used. This is indeed what is in the man page for auto.master.
Or you can specify configuration files, for instance in /etc/autofs/*, that contain various entries. In the /etc/auto.master a timeout option can be used to override the default option for this specific entry file. In my configuration I have: ~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/autofs ...snip... ## Description: Set the default mount timeout (default 600). ## Type: integer(0:) ## Default: 600 # DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=20 ...snip... ~ # cat /etc/auto.master: ...snip... # my configuration files /srv/sources/SLES /etc/autofs/auto.sles -timeout=30 /srv/sources/RedHat /etc/autofs/auto.redhat -timeout=30 /srv/sources/various /etc/autofs/auto.various -timeout=30 ~ # cat /etc/autofs/auto.sles SLES10 -fstype=iso9660,ro,loop :/srv/iso/SLES-10-SP2-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso SLES11_DVD1 -fstype=iso9660,ro,loop :/srv/iso/SLES-11-SP1-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso SLES11_2_DVD1 -fstype=iso9660,ro,loop :/srv/iso/SLES-11-SP2-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso SLES11_2_SDK -fstype=iso9660,ro,loop :/srv/iso/SLE-11-SP2-SDK-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso ...snip...

From reading the man page for auto.master, I seems there isn't a parameter there that will control timeouts. That is specified in /etc/sysconfig/autofs. What is it that you have in /etc/auto.master?
