NAME

sys_attrs_autofs − autofs subsystem attributes

DESCRIPTION

This reference page lists and describes attributes for the AutoFS (autofs) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page for an introduction to the topic of kernel subsystem attributes. 

idle_timeout
Specifies the duration (in seconds) that a file system is to remain mounted when not in use. This is analogous to the automount command’s −tl option. 

Default value: 300 (seconds)

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 100000000

umount_period
Specifies the interval (in seconds) between attempts to unmount file systems that have exceeded their idle_timeout limit. This is analogous to the automount command’s −tw option. 

Default value: 60 (seconds)

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 100000000

error_timeout
Specifies the duration (in seconds) for which a mount failure is cached, preventing a retry of the mount during this time.

Default value: 30 (seconds)

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 100000000

fail_timeout
Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) a process waits for an auto-mounted file system or subtree to become available.

Default value: 120 (seconds)

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 100000000

mount_timeout
Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) the autofsd daemon waites for an individual NFS server to respond to a mount request.

Default value: 30 (seconds)

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 100000000

hash_size
Specifies the size of the AutoFS hash table used to find all AutoFS directories and symlinks system-wide. The size is calculated at boot time based upon the value of max_vnodes. 

Default value: 32 (lists)

Minimum value: 32

Maximum value: 8192
