Bug Description

Binary package hint: pysdm

With pysdm 0.4.1-0ubuntu2 in Jaunty, setting up a partition to use a mount point with spaces in its path does _not_ yield the right configuration in /etc/fstab. According to the fstab manpage, spaces in the mount point can be escaped as '\040'. So for example if your mount point is "/media/Windows HD", it should be written in /etc/fstab as "/media/Windows\040HD". Currently, pysdm would just write "/media/Windows HD" in /etc/fstab, thereby confusing the parser.

If the mount point containing spaces does not exist, pysdm does create the directory properly, so this part of it at least is not an issue.
