90	mondoarchive fails when using space in the prefix	caogdin@…	Bruno Cornec	"I intentionally introduced a space into the filename of the destination of
the image being written to disk.  The command accepted by mondoarchive is
{{{
    mondoarchive -OViFNK0 -s 4200m -S /backup/scratch -T /backup/temp -d
/backup -l LILO -f /dev/hdc \
          -p Mondo- (test) -Birch-061025@2031 -E /backup
}}}
As the following information shows, ""Mondo- (test) -Birch-061025@2031"" is
accepted as a whole and proper file name, because it's quoted in the
invocation of mondoarchive.

When it comes time for mondoarchive to write the first ISO out, it invokes
mkisofs, but the file name is not properly single-quoted, resulting the
following error reported on the console:
{{{
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `mkisofs -no-emul-boot -b isolinux.bin -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -c boot.cat -o /backup//Mondo- (test)
-Birch-061025@2031-1.iso -J -r -p MondoRescue -publisher www.mondorescue.org
-A Mondo_Rescue_GPL -V 1 . >> /var/log/mondo-archive.log 2>>
/var/log/mondo-archive.log'
Call to mkisofs to make ISO (ISO #1) ...failed
---promptdialogYN---1--- Failed to burn ISO #1. Retry?
}}}
Because the parameter to the -o option is not single-quoted to treat it as a
unit, the spaces in the filename break the paramter after ...Mondo-, and the
rest of the filename, (test... is attempted to be interpreted as another
option.

That command could more robustly be coded as
{{{
        mkisofs -no-emul-boot -b isolinux.bin -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -c boot.cat -o '/backup//Mondo- (test)
-Birch-061025@2031-1.iso' \
            -J -r -p MondoRescue -publisher www.mondorescue.org -A
Mondo_Rescue_GPL -V 1 . >> /var/log/mondo-archive.log 2>>
/var/log/mondo-archive.log
}}}
(I quoted the argument to -o)
