fstab, space in mount point/directory names?

Jovan Stosic December 13, 2018

If your source has a white space in the folder name then you can escape it with a \040.

e.g. in /etc/exports on your source server

Code:

/path/to/white\040space 192.168.1.27(ro,sync)

on your destination server /etc/fstab

Code:

192.168.1.15:/path/to/white\040space /my/mountpt nfs defaults 1 2
