6 This name exists for people to just automatically pick up the
7 new name of the autofs Kconfig option. All it does is select
8 the new option name.

10 It will go away in a release or two as people have
11 transitioned to just plain AUTOFS_FS.

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.
28
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.
