Role Name

This is an Ansible role to set up autofs, which helps with automatic file system mounting. It uses two lists:

• autofs_empty_maps: This list creates a file named <auto.foo> containing +auto.foo.
• autofs_indirect_maps: This can be used for both direct and indirect maps and will add the path to auto.master.

The example below creates a simple auto.home, a direct mount called auto.nobackup, and an indirect mount named auto.catdata. Each entry in mounts requires a name and a url. The url can be left blank if you prefer. You can also provide options (these are optional and will be prefixed with a dash).
