Steve Langasek's result is confirmed. In /etc/exports on the NFS server, I used double quotes to enclose a path with a space. When I ran "exportfs -ra", I got the error, "Warning: <export point> does not support NFS export."
Then on the NFS client, I created an /etc/fstab entry where I replaced the space character " " with "\040". It works as expected (and no error is printed out). Incidentally, finding out how to use double-quotes in /etc/exports was hard. Several forums exist where people falsely state 'spaces don't work at all with NFS'. And finding out to use \040 in /etc/fstab was hard too... I only decided to try that after somebody posted how to do that with a non-NFS mount point. -- Warning when exported path contains spaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
