--gatW/ieO32f1wygP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, > This very discussion came up in -questions a few months ago (or maybe it was > late last year). The conclusion was that unless someone rewrites the > /etc/fstab parsing routines in libc to support quoted and/or escaped spaces, > we'll never be able to mount filesystems that have spaces in their names. I volunteer for that. My intention is to make getfsent(3) recognize '\ ' for both the filesystem and the mount point. I think this is more applicable than using quotes. 'mount' should already handle this correctly, but I will do thorough testing, of course.
