Package: mount
Version: 2.12r-16
The solution to this bug will probably be similar to the solution for
Debian Bug #331705
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=331705
This works:
ln -s /dev/sdb1 "/dev/a space"
mount -t vfat "/dev/a space" /mnt/sdb1
But if I add to /etc/fstab
"/dev/try sdb 1" /mnt/sdb1 vfat
Then try
mount /mnt/sdb1
I get the error:
[mntent]: line 1 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /mnt/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Similarly, when I add this line to the top of /etc/fstab:
sshfs#"[email protected]:/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/Testuser/My Documents" /mnt/remote-testuser fuse
noexec,uid=1000,umask=0,allow_other,port=50022,reconnect
then run as root:
mount /mnt/remote-testuser
the mount fails with the error:
[mntent]: line 1 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /mnt/remote-testuser in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
With the patch in Debian Bug 417834
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417834
applied to mount.fues, the above FUSE mount command should have worked.
