IoCage fstab: Spaces in the path?

[oguruma]

I am trying to mount in an iocage fstab. The command:

iocage fstab -a your_plex_jail "/mnt/your_pool/your_plex_dataset /usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media Server" nullfs rw 0 0[/QUOTE]

Don't I need to account for spaces in some way shape or form in fstab entries?

My fstab entry, based on my specs is

Code:

iocage fstab -a plex "/mnt/MediaVolume/plexdata /usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media Server nullfs rw 0 0"

I get the error messsage

Code:

The destination's mountpoint exceeds 88 characters, this may cause failure!

I tried mounting with %20 and \040 in those white spaces, but it mounts it exactly as it's entered.

I'd be interested the know the answer to this. I ended up changing the folders I was mounting on my pool, replacing the space with a _ :D

My issue is that I am trying to mount it ..../Plex Media Server, which is specific to the Plex software. I suppose I could mount it to Plex_Media_Software and then use a soft link, but I can't imagine there is no way to deal with white spaces in the fstab...

iocage fstab -a your_plex_jail "/mnt/your_pool/your_plex_dataset /usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media Server" nullfs rw 0 0

Your open quote is too early, making both the source and the destination appear as one (badly-malformed) path. It should look like this:

Code:

iocage fstab -a your_plex_jail /mnt/your_pool/your_plex_dataset "/usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media Server" nullfs rw 0 0

Note the quote before /usr/local, not before /mnt/your_pool.

I thought it needed " around the whole string following the jail_name like "/mnt...... 0 0", but good to know!
