[Bug 208663] It is not possible to use spaces in fstab paths when using jails
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208663 --- Comment #3 from Jamie Gritton --- No, that won't work - strunvis(3) unfortunately doesn't escape things that way. Also, getfsent(3) treats all whitespace the same. As it should - I remember being stymied by sendmail.cf files that looked perfect but didn't work right, because there some spaces where a tab should be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ freebsd-jail@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-jail To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-jail-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There's something to that - spaces in filenames are a big headache. But in this case it's a settled question - it's not something that "other systems" do, but something that is already supported in FreeBSD: getfsent(3) allows an fstab to have escaped characters in path names, so jail(8) should as well. If I could just use getfsent(3) myself this would never have come up, but my need to operate in in-memory strings instead of a file made that inconvenient. Fortunately it just called strunvis(3) which is trivial to add. - Jamie ___ freebsd-jail@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-jail To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-jail-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
