fstab syntax
Hello, My question is regarding /etc/fstab synax. How can I use spaces and quote symbols in my device name? I tried to use double quotes and backslash, but no luck so far. I.e. I'd like to put the following line: /dev/msdosfs/MY FLASH /mnt/flash msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 Any ideas? -- Best regards, Jeff | Nobody wants to say how this works. | | Maybe nobody knows ... | | Xorg.conf(5)| ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
