[HanoiLUG] mounting w2k3 share at boot SOLVED

[David Tremblay]

Ok it works  the exact error message was (sorry french shell) when I 
mount -a

[mntent]: ligne 10 dans /etc/fstab est erroné (which is very "light 
reporting)

I got the same error with

//192.168.0.1/LERAP\ DOCS

"//192.168.0.1/LERAP DOCS"

but did work with

//192.168.0.1/LERAP\040DOCS

Thanks for your help
