Package: mount Version: 2.29.2-1 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hello dear friends. I suggest to make escaping of space symbols in /etc/fstab be corresponding common rules, just like in Bash: -or to take all line with path, where space symbols are present, into quotes ("/home/user/some folder"), -or to allow specifying spaces after backslash symbol (home/user/some\ folder). Possibility to escape spaces with current way (\040) is good, but it can confuse people and make them spending more time on learning documentation and\or searching in internet. Also, if different programs will use different rules for specifying common things, this would lead to misunderstandings and to need spend much time finding and learning information. I like the "standardized" approach of Linux: different files of programs are laying in different predetermined places, one program answers for installing packages, one - to work with dependencies, all help pages can be received by launching different programs with "--help" key, so nobody will confuse finding what he needs. All answers common rules, which were derived by years of practice. So I suggest to correct behavior of working with /etc/fstab file to more easy and standard way. Best regards, Vladislav.
