AUTOUNMOUNTD(8)

NAME
autounmountd - daemon unmounting automounted filesystems

SYNOPSIS
autounmountd [-d] [-r -time] [-t -time] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
The autounmountd daemon is responsible for unmounting filesystems mounted by automountd(8). On startup, autounmountd retrieves a list of filesystems that have the automounted mount option set. The list is updated every time a filesystem is mounted or unmounted. After a specified time passes, autounmountd attempts to unmount a filesystem, retrying after some time if necessary.

These options are available:

-d  Debug mode: increase verbosity and do not daemonize.

-r  Number of seconds to wait before trying to unmount an expired filesystem after a previous attempt failed, possibly due to filesystem being busy. The default value is 600, or ten minutes.

-t  Number of seconds to wait before trying to unmount a filesystem. The default value is 600, or ten minutes.

-v  Increase verbosity.
