I think the problem is that the fstab(5) file format treats spaces as field delimiters, and the routines used to parse fstab (/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/fstab.c, fstabscan() in particular) do not know how to handle escaped spaces nor quoted fields. -- Matt Emmerton _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
