Automount logging on Solaris

Setting the Automounter daemon options has changed greatly in Solaris 11 (what hasn't?) and no longer requires editing /etc/default/autofs. It is all done in SMF, just like the network configuration.

Solaris 10:

[code]
chmod 644 /etc/default/autofs
vi /etc/default/autofs
[/code]

Add the following:

[code]
# temporary logging
AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE=TRUE
AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE=TRUE
AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE=3
[/code]

Then restart the autofs service:

[code]
svcadm restart autofs
[/code]

Solaris 11:

[code]
sharectl get autofs
sharectl set -p automount_verbose=true autofs
sharectl set -p automountd_verbose=true autofs
sharectl set -p trace=3 autofs
svcadm restart autofs
[/code]

In both cases you view the same log file:

[code]
tail -f /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-autofs:default.log
[/code]
