   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.
