Autofs Filesystem (`autofs')
============================

   The "autofs" (`type:=autofs') filesystem uses Sun's kernel-based
automounter supporting filesystem for Amd's mount points.  Hence it is
another type of top level filesystem.

   The autofs filesystem is not directly accessible from Amd maps, but
only from the `amd.conf' file (Note: mount_type Parameter).

   Note that Autofs support is still very early.  See the distribution
file `README.autofs' for detail of what works and what does not.
