A separate program I compile?=20 It is a program that is part of the base system. See it's manual page; 'man amd' =46rom amd(8): The amd utility is a daemon that automatically mounts file systems whenever a file or directory within that file system is accessed. File systems are automatically unmounted when they appear to be quiescent.
