How automount works

automount operates during two stages:

startup time

mount times

automount starts when the command automount(NADM) is executed on a host that will operate as an NFS client. Execution typically takes place at boot time from the command /etc/nfs, but automount can also be executed from the command line. Mandatory for automount operation are one or more files, called ``maps''. These maps contain entries that define what remote filesystems are to be mounted on this client, the mount point for each filesystem, the server that will be the source of each filesystem, and what NFS mount options will characterize each mount. When automount starts, it forks a daemon to serve the mount points specified in the maps. It does this by establishing the daemon as the NFS server for the specified mount points; in effect, it mounts the daemon at these mount points.

When one of these mount points is accessed or crossed, the daemon fields the NFS protocol request as would the real NFS server daemon, nfsd(NADM). The daemon reads the file /etc/mnttab to check whether the remote filesystem is already mounted. If not, the daemon calls a mount routine to mount the filesystem, as specified in the maps. The daemon also records the mount in the file /etc/mnttab. When a predetermined amount of time has elapsed without the filesystem's being accessed, the daemon automatically unmounts the filesystem and removes the record of the mount from the file /etc/mnttab.

Actual and virtual mount points

automount actually mounts all filesystems under the directory /tmp_mnt. It then uses the UNIX operating system's symbolic link support to associate the user-visible mount point with the one in /tmp_mnt. This symbolic link is conceptually similar to a standard UNIX system link(ADM), but it can be established between pathnames residing on different filesystems. The result is that the filesystems, actually mounted under /tmp_mnt, appear to the user to be mounted in a more logical location. See the figures in ``Direct and indirect mounting'' for examples.

Q. Is there a recertification policy for the MCITP certification?

We no longer require a "refresh" or recertification of the MCITP certification within three years. To better meet our customers� needs, we now retire a certification when mainstream support for the related technology phases out. If you earned an MCITP certification before the policy change, no action is required�the updated policy applies to your certification, which will remain valid until mainstream support for the related technology ends.

Q. Does MCSA equate to MCITP: Server Administrator and does MCSE equate to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator?

No, not exactly. The MCITP on Windows Server 2008 certification requires a new skill set�in some cases, a more robust one�that differs from the skill set needed for MCSA and MCSE certifications.

MCITP: Server Administrator certification covers more operations-related job skills than the MCSA certification.
MCITP: Enterprise Administrator maps to an actual job role profile, whereas the MCSE certification does not. The latter combines technology and job skills.

Q. Are the MCTS and MCITP certifications replacing the MCSA and MCSE certifications?

No. The MCSA and MCSE certifications are not being replaced. There is no change to the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 tracks and certifications. The MCTS and MCITP certifications are for Windows Server 2008.

Q. Am I a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) if I earn an MCITP certification?

Yes and no. The term MCP is used both as a general term for all Microsoft Certified Professionals and as the name of a certification. As an MCITP, you become part of the Microsoft Certified Professional community, with access to all related benefits, information, and activities. You do not earn a certification titled "MCP." You should use the MCITP certification on your resum� and in business collateral, which indicates your specialty and shows that you are a member of the MCP community.

Q. How long will my certification be valid?

All Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) certifications retire when Microsoft discontinues mainstream support for the related technology. After a certification retires, it still appears on your transcript but is listed as "inactive." In most cases, an upgrade path is available for people who have that certification, which allows them to demonstrate their skills on the newest version of the technology without completing all exams associated with the new certification. The following certifications will not be retired: Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST), Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA), Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD), and Microsoft Certified Applications Developer (MCAD).
