+
+ 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 file have been merged.
+ - user space scripts that manually load autofs4.ko should be changed
+ to load autofs.ko. Since the module directory name and the module
+ name itself are the same now 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.
