The autofs program is designed to automatically mount directories only when they are accessed, and to unmount them after a period of inactivity. This behaviour helps conserve bandwidth and improves overall performance, especially compared to static mounts defined in fstab. By using this approach for NFS or Samba shares, the system avoids keeping remote resources permanently active while still providing seamless access when needed. The steps below illustrate how to set up automatic access to a r
