Quote mount point when resizing btrfs (#782681)
A user had a btrfs file system mounted by automounter on a mount point like "/mount/$USER/File System Label" which included white space characters. Resizing the file system while online failed like this: Grow /dev/sdb1 from 1.00 GiB to 1.50 GiB + calibrate /dev/sdb1 + grow partition from 1.00 GiB to 1.50 GiB + grow file system to fill the partition + btrfs filesystem resize 1:max /mount/USER/File System Label btrfs filesystem resize: too many arguments usage: btrfs filesystem resize [devid:][+/-]<newsize>[kKmMgGtTpPeE]|[devid:]max <path> So mount points not created by GParted should be considered under user control and need quoting when used as parameters in command lines. Strictly speaking, mount points created by GParted itself, by FileSystem::mk_temp_dir(), are safe and don't need quoting. However it is simpler and safer just to quote all uses of mount points in command lines, rather than risk missing some. Bug 782681 - btrfs partitions mounted with whitespace cannot be resized
