I'm sure you can find nice documentations that explain the two mapping
methods. Just briefly, With 'direct map', you can mount virtually at
any point because it uses absolute paths. In some situations (like
mounting directly under /), 'direct map' is the only option for
autofs.
In /etc/auto.master, you add a line similar to:
/- /etc/auto.direct
And in /etc/auto.direct, you may have:
/mounthere -fstype=cifs,rw,blah ://machine/share
