/data yp:data.map
If you change the contents of /etc/auto.project to include a new source path what must be done to
access the new path?

B.
Run fsck on the affected mount point

C.
Issue the /etc/init.d/autofs reload command

D.
Add the newly mapped path to/etc/fstab

E.
Nothing Simply access the newly mapped resource

Explanation:
From the man pages:
/etc/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map against running daemons. It will kill
those daemons whose entries have changed and then start daemons for new or changed entries. If a
map is modified then the change will become effective immediately.
