I use "smbfs", and, on machines beyond my control, some of the shares have spaces in their names. Unfortunately, fstab(5) can't do spaces in the device name. This adds the ability. The only incompatibility should be with people already using the " character in their device / mount point names, which I assume will be less than the number who find this useful. How-To-Repeat: Try to put a space in an entry in /etc/fstab, then use mount
I modified the patch and applied it. It worked. It adds support for spaces in the first 2 fields of /etc/fstab . The new patches can be found at http://www.riondabsd.net/fstab-quotes.tar.gz I think they should be committed (after having been reviewed) because they add a feature which can be really useful. Anyway, this is absolutely not a conf PR, but I don't know which category fits it best. -- Rionda aka Matteo Riondato Disinformato per default G.U.F.I.

This bug says it is FIXED, but I certainly do not see this patch applied on my 9.1-RELEASE box. The duplicate issues, bug 117687 and bug 55539, are still in the Open state. What's the deal, here?
