Re: [Bug 306369] Re: autofs cannot mount remote directory path with space
Yes, I am still having the same problem. I just confirmed it, running fully updated 8.04.3 on both NFS client and server. It's quite clear from the source code what the problem is. -Mike On Oct 13, 2009, at 11:00 AM, Chuck Short wrote: Hi, I was wondering if you were still having this problem?

Hi Chuck, I am definitely not able write a patch in any sense I can read the code but figuring out what to do to fix and test it in the context of the whole program and OS is another issue entirely! -Mike On Oct 13, 2009, at 11:38 AM, Chuck Short wrote: Hi Mike, Patches are always welcome.
