Bug#799244: Algortihm does not work like in: libkmod-module: fix return code in error path

[fin4478 fin4478]

Plaa plaa, read kernel documentation:
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS:

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
<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>; 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.

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.


Millions of home computers are not in a large distributed network, so systemd politics is stupid. Every unneeded module and message slows your computer.
