AIX Version 4.3 Differences Guide

Mount-options
mount-options is an optional, comma-separated list of options that apply to the
mounting of the entries specified in map-name unless the entries in map-name
list other options. The mount-options are the same as those for a standard NFS
mount, except that bg (background) and fg (foreground) do not apply.
The auto_master map also has two special entries. They are:
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid
The +auto_master entry is a reference to an external NIS master map. If one
exists, then its entries are read as if they occurred in place of the +auto_master
entry.
The /net entry is a mechanism that allows an NFS client to access all filesystems
exported by a server. For example, accessing /net/fred will cause the autofs
system to mount all of the filesystems exported by the machine fred under the
root mount point /net/fred.
7.14.2.4 Direct Maps
A direct map is an automount point. With a direct map, there is a direct
association between a mount point on the client and a directory on the server.
Direct maps have a full path name and indicate the relationship explicitly. Lines in
direct maps have the following syntax:
mount-point [ mount-options ] location
Key
The key is the path name of the mount point in a direct map.
Mount-options
The mount-options are the options you want to apply to this particular mount.
They are required only if they differ from the map default.
Location
The location is the location of the file system. Specified as server:pathname.
An example of typical /etc/auto_direct map is:
/usr/local -ro \
/bin goanna:/export/local/bin \
/share goanna:/export/local/share \
/src
goanna:/export/local/src
/usr/man -ro echidna:/usr/man \
platypus:/usr/man \
wombat:/usr/man \
/usr/games -ro koala:/usr/games
/usr/spool/news -ro wallaby:/usr/spool/news \
wombat:/var/spool/news
