I have been editing fstab file so that linux will mount windows server folders in right places in the linux machine. There is 3 folders in the server that i want to mount and i have been successful with 2 folders (fstab line 10 and line 12). But when i boot the machine it always says that fstab line 11 is bad and that folder is not mounted. Fstab file is:
Is the bad thing that there is space between High and School in the server folder name? line 10 has same syntax without space and .salasana file and it works .

That'll do it. Try escapeing the space, e.g.:
//SERVERI/High\ School /home/tectpupil/SERVERI/HighSchool smbfs credentials=/home/tectpupil/.salasana 0 0
I don't know if qouting the string would work, couldn't find anything in the docs about it.
a truncated name may also work - again, I'm not sure. e.g. HIGHSC~1
I found an answer with cheating the LinNeighborhood program. I mounted with that program that //SERVERI/High School in to /home/tectpupil/SERVERI/High School. Then i looked mtab file and i noticed that space in /home..../High School was written High\040School . I used that method in fstab //SERVERI/High\040School ... And IT WORKS!
