An automounter is any program or software facility which automatically mounts filesystems in response to access operations by user programs. An automounter system utility (daemon under Unix), when notified of file and directory access attempts under selectively monitored subdirectory trees, dynamically and transparently makes local or remote devices accessible.
The system automatically notices that the disk has changed and updates the mount point contents to reflect the new medium. Similar functionality is found on Windows machines. An automounter will automatically mount a file system when a reference is made to the directory atop which it should be mounted. This is usually used for file systems on ...

Deploying solutions based on reboot to restore technology allows users to define a system configuration as the desired state. The baseline is the point that is restored on reboot. Once the baseline is set, the reboot to restore software continues to restore that configuration every time the device restarts or switches on after a shutdown. [3]
ONTAP originally only supported NFS, but later added support for SMB, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel Protocol (including Fibre Channel over Ethernet and FC-NVMe). On June 16, 2006, [3] NetApp released two variants of Data ONTAP, namely Data ONTAP 7G and, with nearly a complete rewrite, [2] Data ONTAP GX. Data ONTAP GX was based on grid technology ...
