1 | config AUTOFS_FS |
2 | tristate "Kernel automounter support" | |
3 | help | |
4 | The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems | |
5 | on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce | |
6 | overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD | |
7 | automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. | |
8 | ||
9 | To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs | |
10 | package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |
11 | You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. | |
12 | ||
13 | If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more | |
14 | features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support", | |
15 | below. | |
16 | ||
17 | To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
18 | called autofs. | |
19 | ||
20 | If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you | |
21 | probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here. |
