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/v4/>; you also
|
||||
want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.

<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 autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your
|
||||
modules configuration file.
|
||||
This module is in the process of being renamed from autofs4 to
|
||||
autofs. Since autofs is now the only module that provides the
|
||||
autofs file system the module is not version 4 specific.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
The autofs4 module is now built from the source located in
|
||||
fs/autofs. The autofs4 directory and its configuration entry
|
||||
will be removed two kernel versions from the inclusion of this
|
||||
change.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes that will need to be made should be limited to:
|
||||
- source include statments should be changed from autofs_fs4.h to
|
||||
autofs_fs.h since these two header files have been merged.
|
||||
- user space scripts that manually load autofs4.ko should be
|
||||
changed to load autofs.ko. But since the module directory name
|
||||
and the module name are the same as the file system name there
|
||||
is no need to manually load module.
|
||||
- any "alias autofs autofs4" will need to be removed.
|
||||
|
||||
Please configure AUTOFS_FS instead of AUTOFS4_FS from now on.
