- Command-Line Syntax Key IMPORTANT: In storage area network (SAN) configurations, disabling automount prevents Windows from automatically mounting or assigning drive letters to any new basic volumes that are visible to the system.

To see if the automount feature is enabled, type the following commands from within the diskpart command

automountIdentify

To enable the automount feature, type

automount enableIdentify

To disable the automount feature, type

automount disableIdentify
enableEnables Windows to automatically mount new basic and dynamic volumes that are added to the system and to assign them drive letters.
disablePrevents Windows from automatically mounting any new basic and dynamic volumes that are added to the system. Note: Disabling automount can cause failover clusters to fail the storage portion of the Validate a Configuration Wizard.
scrubRemoves volume mount point directories and registry settings for volumes that are no longer in the system. This prevents volumes that were previously in the system from being automatically mounted and given their former volume mount point(s) when they are added back to the system.
noerrFor scripting only. When an error is encountered, DiskPart continues to process commands as if the error did not occur. Without this parameter, an error causes DiskPart to exit with an error code.

Read the /etc/auto_master file and mount autofs on the appropriate mount points to trigger the on-demand mounting of directories. Essentially, it's a way to manually initiate the system's automounting process. Note: You'll most likely need to run with sudo if you don't have the necessary permissions.

Run automount, flush the cache beforehand, and be verbose about it (most common use)

automount -cvIdentify

Automatically unmount after 5 minutes (300 seconds) of inactivity

automount -t 300Identify

unmount anything previously mounted by automount and/or defined in /etc/auto_master

automount -uIdentify
