Public bug reported:
If I want to mount a directory containing a space (for example to match
a remote share name), it will not work currently with the default
cc_mounts plugin.
- if I surround the mountpoint with quotes, it will create the destination
directory properly, but then /etc/fstab won't contain the quotes and the spaces
will cause parsing error in /etc/fstab
- If I use the common workaround of replacing spaces with \040, then the
directory will contain a literal '\' and then '040', and the mountpoint won't
be found because mount interprets the escape sequence properly.
My suggestion: when outputting to /etc/fstab, escape spaces (and any
other character part of fstab grammar) properly. This way the cloud-init
config will just work.
