Just FYI, here is how Linux handles this (from fstab(5)): The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesys- tem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'. If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as `\040'. It might be a good idea to use this method rather than inventing a new one. -- Tod McQuillin
