Package: mount
Version: 2.12p-8
Severity: normal
I'm using samba, and trying to mount "//dorje/Documents and Settings" in
/mnt/dorje-docs/. Using smbmount this works fine. But when I put it into
fstab it is impossible (I'm told) because of the space in the path. My line
in fstab is something like
//dorje/Documents_and_Settings /mnt/dorje-docs smbfs ro,guest 0 0
but this doesn't work; the path isn't found. I tried substituting _ for
space, escaping it with \, and enclosing the whole thing in quotes. The
samba people say this is impossible to do in linux...but this should be
easy to fix!
