I'm trying to mount a remote Windows directory, which happens to have a space in its name; "mount -a" returns the following error: fstab: /etc/fstab:14: Inappropriate file type or format I have tried both of the following formats: //user@host/Win\ Partition /mountpoint smbfs rw 0 0 "//user@host/Win Partition" /mountpoint smbfs rw 0 0 I pulled this format directly from "man mount_smbfs 8": "//guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto 0 0" I searched the archives, and it seems this question had been asked once before, but no conclusion was reached: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&threadm=1042037002.72844.6.camel%40d80h149.public.uconn.edu.lucky.freebsd.questions&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522fstab:%2B/etc/fstab%2522%2B%2522Inappropriate%2Bfile%2Btype%2Bor%2Bformat%2522%2Bsmbfs%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1042037002.72844.6.camel%2540d80h149.public.uconn.edu.lucky.freebsd.questions%26rnum%3D1 Thanks.
