A random guess might be to try: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Driver%20C %20 refers to the ascii character with hex value 20 which is space. It's what webservers use for getting around spaces, samba might too.` I'd be really curious to see if this works.
The following seems to work for me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root> mount_smbfs //odo/"Temp Dir" /mnt Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root> mount | grep smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/TEMP DIR on /mnt (smbfs) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root>
Yes, that WFM too. The problem is if you try to add that as an entry in /etc/fstab as it cannot handle the space. I had a quick look in fstab.c and there appears to be no handling of escaped characters, which is understandable I suppose since the first field would normally be something /dev/da0s1a
