This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce 7*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD 8*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. 9*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent 10*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from 11*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want 12*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. 13*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent 14*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be 15*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent called autofs. 16*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent 17*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or 18*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the 19*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say 20*2a3ae0a1SIan Kent N here. 21
