1. Status of the support

Linuxconf knows little about the amd auto-mounter. There is no known default configuration file for it. We are proposing /etc/conf.amd.map.

Linuxconf knows how to start and restart the amd server depending on the status of the file /etc/conf.amd.map. At this point this is all Linuxconf is doing about it.

A sample conf.amd.map is supplied in /usr/lib/linuxconf. This file is used for NFS. Whenever you installed this file in /etc and start the amd server, you will get a "magic" /n directory. Whenever you will do

        ls /n/any-host/dir/...
        

the auto-mounter will wake up and establish the NFS mount (if possible) to this "any-host" server. The mount will be dropped after 5 minutes of inactivity.
