Answer / c.anthony francis
The AutoFS file system provides a mechanism for
automatically mounting NFS file systems on demand and for
automatically unmounting these file systems after a
predetermined period of inactivity. The mount points are
specified using local or distributed automount maps.
The /lib/svc/method/svc-autofs script starts the
automountd daemon. The automountd daemon mounts file
system on demand and unmounts idle mount points. Note:-
The automountd daemon is completely independent from the
automount command. Because of this separation, you can
add, delete or change map information without having to
stop and start the automountd daemon process.
