[SOLVED] Space in Samba share

[maybeme]

A space in a samba share is giving trouble for the automount tool, while previously this was working correctly. In /etc/fstab, you have to define a space using "\040". However, this is parsed as 040 by automount:

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ cat /etc/fstab
//192.168.1.200/Time\040Capsule /mnt/TC cifs username=******,password=*******,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,​sec=ntlm 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot xbian rw,nobootwait 0 1
...

Terminal

sudo xbian@xbian ~ $ cat /var/log/upstart/autofs.log
handle_packet: type = 5

Any idea where I can report this bug?



EDIT: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/can%27t-automount-smb-with-spaces-172819/
Here it is stated autofs needs a different notation for spaces than /etc/fstab:
"\ " should work for autofs. Would this be a possible fix: update /etc/init/autofs.conf so it copies the /etc/fstab file while replacing "\040" with "\ " and then using that new file as input? How can I point autofs to that new file?

EDIT2: OK, now I get I have to edit the process which copies /etc/fstab to /etc/auto.master.d/auto.xbian. Which process is this?

Glad you got it sorted.

Can I ask you to edit the first thread and put it as solved. Tnx.
