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. |
