fstab 1.7: spaces in win32path


Hi,

after my last update of cygwin, I found myself in the cygwin 1.7 world (uname -rv: 1.7.0(0.185/5/2) 2008-05-25 20:10).

Unfortunately, my mounts have not been translated to /etc/fstab entries, so I had to write /etc/fstab myself. :-(

My problem:
I haven't found a way to mount a win32path containing spaces (like "c:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\myself") through fstab. Tried enclosing it with " and/or escaping the spaces (\ ).
C:\\Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen\\myself /DOS some_fs text 0 0


Error message:
 92 [main] ? (2772) read_flags: invalid fstab option - '/DOS'

In the shell I can mount the path using
# mount -t 'c:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\myself' /DOS

Regards,
 Martin
