Description
If the source (name) or destination (fs_file) of an fstab entry generated by mount.fstab_present contains spaces or tabs, these need to be replaced by \040 and \011, respectively, when writing to /etc/fstab, else the line cannot be parsed. I think the same applies to mount options (fs_mntops) as well.

Setup

  • on-prem machine (my laptop)
  • onedir packaging
  • masterless
  • installed from https://repo.saltproject.io/salt/py3/debian/12/amd64/latest

Steps to Reproduce the behavior

example:
  mount.fstab_present:
    - name: /dev/sda1
    - fs_file: /tmp/some directory with spaces
    - 
    - mount: true

Expected behavior
The fstab entry should start like this:

/dev/sda1    /tmp/some\040directory\040with\040spaces    …

Actual behavior
Salt places the spaces verbatim in the file.

It is possible to manually use the correct escapes in the YAML, but then mount: true won't work either, because it tries to find a mount point with the escape codes: Error while mounting /tmp/some\040directory\040with\040spaces: can't find in /etc/fstab.

Backslashes and newlines should also be escaped.

Backslashes and newlines should also be escaped.

Unfortunately, that makes it a breaking change.
