This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce7 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD8 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.9 10 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from11 <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want12 to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.13 14 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be15 called autofs.16 17 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or18 don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the19 local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say20 N here.21
