I can not use the double quotes in the fstab file where I want to use it.
Double quotes work fine on the mount command line, but I want to be able
to mount the file system with out the entire criptic command line.
Currently I use:
# mount -t smbfs -o username=<myDomainUserName>,uid=<MyLocalUserName>
//ServerIPAddress/"Shared Name With Spaces" /mnt/mydir
This Works. But the setup does not seem to work in the fstab file so
all I need to type at the command line is:
mount /mnt/mydir
I would much perfer this method and I really do not want to write a
script to execute either.
