| 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 | |
| <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>; you also | |
| want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. | |
| To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
| called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your | |
| modules configuration file. | |
| If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or | |
| don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the | |
| local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say | |
| N here. |
