AUTOUNMOUNTD(8)

NAME
autounmountd - daemon unmounting automounted file systems

SYNOPSIS
autounmountd [-r time] [-t time] [-dv]

DESCRIPTION
The autounmountd daemon is responsible for unmounting file systems mounted by automountd(8). On startup, autounmountd retrieves a list of file systems that have the automounted mount option set. The list is updated every time a file system is mounted or unmounted. After a specified time passes, autounmountd attempts to unmount a file system, 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 file system after a previous attempt failed, possibly due to file system being busy. The default value is 600, or ten minutes.

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

-v  Increase verbosity.
