|
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/>; 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 autofs.
|
|
|
|
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.
