PMJI, but do you know if it's possible to handle a share name containing a space when mounting smb filesystems using fstab?
I tried
"//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Drive C" '//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Drive C' //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Drive\ C
None of these worked. I know that using spaces in filenames is a Bad Idea, but this is Windows we're talking about here ;-)
A random guess might be to try: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Driver%20C %20 refers to the ascii character with hex value 20 which is space. It's what webservers use for getting around spaces, samba might too.` I'd be really curious to see if this works.
Nope:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Drive%20C /smb2 smbfs rw,noauto 0 0
postbag# mount /smb2 Password: smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = No such file or directory
Using \x20 produced the same result. The other three that I mentioned all produce:
postbag# mount /smb2 fstab: /etc/fstab:17: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:17: Inappropriate file type or format mount: /smb2: unknown special file or file system
Which suggests that it's interpreting the space as a delimiter and ignoring the escapes.
