               Set the global minimum timeout, in  seconds,  until 
directories
               are unmounted. The default is 10 minutes. Setting the 
timeout to
               zero disables umounts completely.

If you don't want to set a global timeout you can specify a different 
timeout for each mount

man auto.master

              -t, --timeout <seconds>
                      Set the expire timeout for map entries. This 
option  can
                      be  used  to  override the global default given 
either on
                      the command line or in the configuration.
