Absolutely great on a laptop when you want to mount a drive over short-lived/intermittent ssh

What is autofs?

Package: autofs Description: kernel-based automounter for Linux Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons. The automount daemons automatically mount filesystems when they are used and unmount them after a period of inactivity. This is done based on a set of pre-configured maps. . The kernel automounter implements an almost complete SunOS style automounter under Linux. A recent version of the kernel autofs4 module (builtin or separate) is required. . This is the autofs daemon.
