>Description:
	I have installed ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs and I got a device name
	'/dev/ntfs/Windows XP'. The following commands work fine:
	# mkdir /c
	# mount '/dev/ntfs/Windows XP' /c

	But when I try to write this mounting to /etc/fstab,
	There is no way to write the whitespace in fstab.
	I tried (1) quoting filename with "" and (2) using \040 notation,
	with no good result.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to mount a NTFS partition with a volume label with a whitespace.
