FSTAB: Adding spaces in the mount point path





Issue


Since the various options in / etc / fstab are separated by spaces, it is a priori not possible to put spaces in the path of the mount point.

Solution


This limitation is easily bypassed by typing "\ 040" instead of a space in the configuration file.
  • Example:


/dev/sda1 /mnt/first\040disk ext3 options 0 0


This simply means that we mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/first disk
