This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce 762306a36Sopenharmony_ci overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD 862306a36Sopenharmony_ci automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. 962306a36Sopenharmony_ci 1062306a36Sopenharmony_ci To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from 1162306a36Sopenharmony_ci <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want 1262306a36Sopenharmony_ci to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. 1362306a36Sopenharmony_ci 1462306a36Sopenharmony_ci To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be 1562306a36Sopenharmony_ci called autofs. 1662306a36Sopenharmony_ci 1762306a36Sopenharmony_ci If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or 1862306a36Sopenharmony_ci don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the 1962306a36Sopenharmony_ci local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say 2062306a36Sopenharmony_ci N here. 21
