+config AUTOFS_FS
+ tristate "Kernel automounter support"
+ help
+ The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
+ on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
+ overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
+ automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
+
+ To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs
+ package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
+ You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
+
+ If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more
+ features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support",
+ below.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
+ called autofs.
+
+ If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you
+ probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here.
