  6. This name exists for people to just automatically pick up the
  7. new name of the autofs Kconfig option. All it does is select
  8. the new option name.
  9. It will go away in a release or two as people have
  10. transitioned to just plain AUTOFS_FS.

  15. The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
  16. on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
  17. overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
  18. automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
  19. To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
  20. <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want
  21. to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
  22. To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
  23. called autofs.
  24. If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
  25. don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
  26. local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say
  27. N here.
