autofs4 not set in kernel

[Psycho_Dad]

Hi @all

I need autofs for mounting several filesystems on demand (cifs,nfs,usb..) but the module seems to be disabled in the kernel.
TinkerOS_Debian V1.6 (Beta version)

Code:

root@linaro-alip:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep AUTOFS
# CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS is not set
root@linaro-alip:~#

So the installation fails.

Code:

root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get install autofs

Any suggestions for that problem?

Seems to be fixed in TOSv1.8

Thanks a lot

Have You managed to start autofs? At TOSv1.8 I still get:

Code:
