I've got an smb network share that I'm connecting to, and the share's name has a space in it. I followed the advice here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27823
...and so I'm typing \040 in place of the space in the share name. It mounts fine, but the problem I'm having is that any time I do mount -a, the share gets mounted *again* at the same mount point. When I list my mount points, the same smb entry shows up once for every time fstab has been used to mount it, and I have to run umount that many times in order to actually unmount it.
Is there a good workaround for this? I'd rather not have to do a 'umount' after every 'mount -a'.
