/mnt /etc /auto.misc --timeout=50

When you mount the other filesystem, you should unmount the mounted filesystem, Automount feature of linux helps to mount at access time and after certain seconds, when user unaccess the mounted directory, automatically unmount the filesystem.

/etc/auto.master is the master configuration file for autofs service. When you start the service, it reads the mount point as defined in /etc/auto.master.

I vaguely remember that we discussed using `systemd` for managing mounts, but I’m not clear on how to implement the 50-second timeout.

I believe we might need to use `autofs` for the automatic mounting and unmounting, but I'm not entirely confident about the syntax.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to mount a directory, but I can't recall the exact commands for the auto-unmount feature.

I remember something about using the `fstab` file to set up automatic mounting, but I'm not sure how to configure the timeout for unmounting.
