This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce 19*4882a593Smuzhiyun overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD 20*4882a593Smuzhiyun automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. 21*4882a593Smuzhiyun 22*4882a593Smuzhiyun To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from 23*4882a593Smuzhiyun <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want 24*4882a593Smuzhiyun to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. 25*4882a593Smuzhiyun 26*4882a593Smuzhiyun To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be 27*4882a593Smuzhiyun called autofs. 28*4882a593Smuzhiyun 29*4882a593Smuzhiyun If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or 30*4882a593Smuzhiyun don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the 31*4882a593Smuzhiyun local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say 32*4882a593Smuzhiyun N here. 33
