My attitude would be: keep the spaces out of directory names - at least
where educated person: system administrator makes the decision, such as
mount points. Not everything that other systems have has to be accepted
for FreeBSD. Such as spaces in paths MS Widows system is infested with due
to dumb decision by system vendor promoting usernames "Firstname Lastname"
like.

Just my humble opinion.
