Direct Automount Filesystem
============================================
The "direct" filesystem is almost identical to the automount
filesystem. Instead of appearing to be a directory of mount points, it
appears as a symbolic link to a mounted filesystem. The mount is done
at the time the link is accessed. See Automount Filesystem for a
list of required options.
Direct automount points are created by specifying the `direct'
filesystem type on the command line:
amd ... /usr/man auto.direct -type:=direct
where `auto.direct' would contain an entry such as:
usr/man -type:=nfs;rfs:=/usr/man \
rhost:=man-server1 rhost:=man-server2
In this example, `man-server1' and `man-server2' are file servers
which export copies of the manual pages. Note that the key which is
looked up is the name of the automount point without the leading `/'.
