The + automounter supports a standard map format, and integrates with + the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service.</p> + + <p>After shipping in 10.1-RELEASE, most of the work focused + on bug fixing, improving documentation, and optimization. The + biggest new feature was the addition of a "-media" map, designed + to handle removable media, such as flash drives or DVDs, and the + neccessary elements of infrastructure to support it, namely + fstyp(8) and GEOM devd notifications. Also, the "-noauto" map + was added, for automatic mounting of filesystems marked "noauto" + in fstab(5), instead of having to write autofs map for them.</p> + </body> + + <sponsor>The &os; Foundation</sponsor> + </project> </report>
