Trying to add share to /etc/fstab with spaces in password
 

I'm trying to add a share to /etc/fstab, but the account I need to connect with has spaces in the password, and mount doesn't like it. How do I format this?

//195.212.215.32/myshare /mnt/hdrive cifs exec,iocharset=utf8,username=ralph,password=This password is very long

Likely you can use a ? where the space would be, or prefix the space with \.
(Normally works for problem filenames.)

Try \040 for the space characters. That's the way to represent spaces in the mount point directory name. Hopefully it works for the mount options, too.

You could try adding the password to a file at /password in the form:
(Replace "<password>" with your password)

Then use this option instead of "password=":
