I am looking to make an entry in my fstab for an smb file share that has
a space in  the name.

<snip one line from fstab>

//Account@NBName/MY SHARE  /mntpoint        smbfs
rw,noauto,-W=AccountDomain,-I=RealName.My.Domain.Edu     0 0

</end snip>

I have tried many variations on the share name using double-quotes,
single-quotes, "\ ", with no success.

>mount /mntpoint
fstab: /etc/fstab:17: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:17: Inappropriate file type or format
mount: /mntpoint: unknown special file or file system

mount is parsing the fstab and using the space in the share name as a
delimiter.

Any ideas how I can make this entry in my fstab?  Unfortunately,
renaming my share is NOT an option.

Thanks all,
-Matt
