The problem is with the space on the mount point "Xserve RAID", '\ '
works on command line but not inside fstab. You must use \040 istead of
space.

i have a mailserver running 4.0-release and its mailboxes are on an NFS mounted

172.16.16.6:/Volumes/Xserve\ RAID/mail /var/mail/virtual nfs rw,nodev,nosuid 0 0
giving several
fstab: /etc/fstab: Inappropriate file type or format
messages when mounting partitions on boot. this is odd since, AFAICR, this
worked fine to mount NFS when this machine was 3.9-release about a month ago.
additionally, the directory mounts fine when issuing
mount_nfs -o rw,nodev,nosuid /Volumes/Xserve\ RAID/mail /var/mail/virtual
after the machine has booted.
do note that the faq ( http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#NFS ) suggests adding
the same type of entry to /etc/fstab as quoted above:
10.0.0.1:/work /mnt nfs ro,nodev,nosuid 0 0
any ideas on what is going on here?
cheers,
