Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861903 Title: Mountpoint containing a space not working Status in cloud-init: Expired Bug description: 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.
