etc fstab entry - username problem

English Network/Internet

Hi Everyone,
I have an entry in etc fstab file, in which, a username is required to have SPACE between them.

FSTAB entry is showing an error while I give a space for the username (but without the space, windows machine cannot be validated).

What can I do in the entry of etc/fstab to overcome the space in the username? Please advise.

Thank you all in advance…

What version openSUSE? There was a parsing bug in the CIFS mount script.

open Suse 11.2

What can I do to resolve this issue Sir?

Thank you

Ok, you have to put \ in front of any spaces to escape them. And if that still doesn’t work you might have to patch /etc/init.d/smbfs yourself, following this bug report:

Thank you very much. The problem got resolved by putting a \ in between the spaces.

Everything is in perfect place now…

Have a nice day!!!
