| help | |
| The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems | |
| on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce | |
| overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD | |
| automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. | |
| To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs | |
| package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |
| You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. | |
| If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more | |
| features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support", | |
| below. | |
| To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
| called autofs. | |
| If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you | |
| probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here. |
