fstab

Can's get a window's directory to mount due to an apostrophe. The relevant bit of fstab:

# Auto-mount windows drive
UUID=0C1C51021C50E86A /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

# Auto-mount the Music folder
/media/windows/Documents\040and\040Settings/Foo\040Name/My\040Documents/My\040Music/Foo's\040Music /home/foo/Music none bind 0 0

Note that I'm using the \040 to escape spaces, but man ascii doesn't (from what I see) have an escape character for a '. I've tried \047 to no avail

Thoughts?

The /etc/fstab file gives you control over what filesystems are mounted at startup on your Linux system, including Windows partitions and network shares. You can also use it to control the mount points of removable storage devices like USB sticks and external hard disks. Akkana Peck shows us how. >>> More
