Configuring the NFS automounter

Unmounting automounted filesystems

If you use the umount(ADM) command to unmount one of the automounted filesystems (a directory under /tmp_mnt), you must force automount to reread the /etc/mnttab file. To do so, enter the command:

ps -ef | grep automount | egrep -v grep

This gives you the process ID of automount. When automount receives a SIGHUP signal, it rereads /etc/mnttab. To send it that signal, enter:

kill -1 pid

Here, pid stands for the process ID you obtained from the previous ps command.
