Contrast with the similar /etc/fstab file which supports octal escape (\040). I <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=84cc2abf3472b" rel="nofollow">see</a>[1] that "PARTLABEL=" is supported in /etc/cryptab although it isn't <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/crypttab.html" rel="nofollow">documented[2]</a>. [1] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=84cc2abf3472b">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=84cc2abf3472b</a> [2] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/crypttab.html">http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/crypttab.html</a> Take a label "A B". This would have device symlink like /dev/disk/by-partlabel/A\x20B where "A\x20B" is the output of "systemd-escape A B" Placing an entry in /etc/crypttab like cryptvol PARTLABEL=A\040B none results in device units like dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-A\x5cx5c040B I also tried "A\x20B" I get "dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-A\x5cx5cx20B" GPT supports whitespace in partition labels. Is it possible to use whitespace in PARTLABEL in /etc/crypttab? </body> </html>
