leave a comment »

If you are trying to mount a Windows shared folder that has its name containing spaces you can easily mount it sticking 40 instead the space character:

eg.:

If the box is at the address: 192.168.0.15, and the name of the shared folder is “Name with spaces”

you can add the following line into your /etc/fstab

 

//192.168.0.15/Name40with40spaces /mnt/name-with-spaces bla bla bla
