|  | help | 
|  | 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. |
