[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#415482: initscripts: fails to umount mountpoints with spaces

[Mourad De Clerck]

tag 415482 patch
thanks

I have the same issue, with drives that are labelled "External HD" and
are mounted automatically by gnome-volume-manager.

My solution is not very pretty, but it works for me - see attach.

Thanks,
