69: An {\em automounter} maintains a cache of mounted filesystems.
70: Filesystems are mounted on demand when they are first referenced,
71: and unmounted after a period of inactivity.
72: \par\mbox{}\par
73:
74: \Amd\ may be used as a replacement for Sun's automounter.
75: The choice of which filesystem to mount can be controlled dynamically
76: with {\em selectors}.
77: Selectors allow decisions of the form
78: ``hostname is {\em this}\,'' or ``architecture is not {\em that}.''
79: Selectors may be combined arbitrarily.
80: \Amd\ also supports a variety of filesystem types,
81: including \NFS, \UFS\ and the novel {\em program}
82: filesystem.
83: The combination of selectors and multiple filesystem types allows
84: identical configuration files to be used on all machines so
85: reducing the administrative overhead.
86:
87: \Amd\ ensures that it will not hang if a remote server
88: goes down. Moreover, \amd\ can determine when a remote
89: server has become inaccessible and then mount replacement
90: filesystems as and when they become available.
91: \par\mbox{}\par
92: \Amd\ contains no proprietary source code and
93: has been ported to numerous flavours of \Unix.
