1config AUTOFS_FS 2 tristate "Kernel automounter support" 3 help 4 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems 5 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce 6 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD 7 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. 8 9 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs 10 package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>. 11 You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. 12 13 If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more 14 features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support", 15 below. 16 17 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be 18 called autofs. 19 20 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you 21 probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here. 22
