17 | The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems | |
18 | on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce | |
19 | overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD | |
20 | automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. | |
21 | ||
22 | To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from | |
23 | <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want | |
24 | to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. | |
25 | ||
26 | To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
27 | called autofs. | |

29 | If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or | |
30 | don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the | |
31 | local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say | |
32 | N here. |
