fstab path space question
i have 2 entries that i added to my fstab so i can mount to my NLSU2 network drive. one of them works and the other one doesn't, i believe that it is because the path to that drive contains a space.
here is the working one
//192.168.1.123/folder /mnt/network/P smbfs username=XXXX,password=XXXX 0 0
here is the other one
//192.168.1.123/DISK 1 /mnt/network/N smbfs username=XXXX,password=XXXX 0 0
i've tried working around it by:
"//192.168.1.123/DISK 1"
'//192.168.1.123/DISK 1'
//192.168.1.123/DISK\ 1
and none of those work... however if i do a manual "mount -t blahblah" and either one of those WILL work but in the fstab it won't.... any suggestions thanks

having typed man fstab on my PC , I found the following :-
hope this helpsCode:The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap parti- tions, this field should be specified as 'none'. If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as '\040'.
