Let me be clear here to make Dave feel better. I don't know that it's wrong to have spaces in paths on a box. (I think it's silly, yes). But if you're administering a box, and you want hugepage support, and you make your hugetlbfs mountpoint "/ hugetlb_dir/", I don't want to use your box. That's what I meant, perhaps it should have been phrased as "operator oddness", not error.
