mount/bind to folder with space in name

magnum81 · 04-30-2006, 01:29 PM

I'm trying to mount (in /etc/fstab) a folder which has a space in it's name "/mnt/D/My Music on /mnt/music/first", but mount thinks that "/mnt/D/My" is the mount point and "Music" is the mount folder. It works fine when I change directory to "/mnt/D" and type '$ mount --bind "My Music" /mnt/music/first'. But not with fstab. Here is what my fstab looks like

Code:

/mnt/D/My Music/ /mnt/music/first/ bind 0 0

The solution is in the man page... I could tell you but you'll feel all warm and fuzzy if you figure it out yourself...

i'm not sure how exactly that would work in fstab but if you prefix the space with a backslash it should work. I know it will from the command line.

Code:

/mnt/D/My\ Music/ /mnt/music/first/ bind 0 0
