Title:
  fstab-generator interprets backslashes in CIFS mounts

Status in systemd:
  Won't Fix
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello. I'm using systemd 219 on Ubuntu 15.04.
  I have the following line in /etc/fstab:

  \\192.168.1.110\ExtHDD /mnt/nas cifs vers=3.0,nofail,x-gvfs-
  show,credentials=/etc/nas_passwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose 0 0

  "sudo mount /mnt/nas/" works properly in this case. Hovewer, fstab-
  generator creates an incorrect mount unit:

  # Automatically generated by systemd-fstab-generator

  [Unit]
  SourcePath=/etc/fstab
  Documentation=man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)

  [Mount]
  What=\192.168.1.110\ExtHDD
  Where=/mnt/nas
  Type=cifs
  Options=vers=3.0,nofail,x-gvfs-show,credentials=/etc/nas_passwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose

  Note a missing backslash before the IP address. "systemctl status mnt-
  nas.mount" obviously tells that unit wasn't able to start:

  марта 31 20:23:32 artyom-H97-D3H mount[7360]: mount.cifs: bad UNC
  (\192.168.1.110\ExtHDD)

  Let's add more backslashes to the CIFS path:

  \\\\192.168.1.110\\ExtHDD /mnt/nas cifs vers=3.0,nofail,x-gvfs-
  show,credentials=/etc/nas_passwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose 0 0

  In this case, generated mount unit is correct:

  # Automatically generated by systemd-fstab-generator

  [Unit]
  SourcePath=/etc/fstab
  Documentation=man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)

  [Mount]
  What=\\192.168.1.110\ExtHDD
  Where=/mnt/nas
  Type=cifs
  Options=vers=3.0,nofail,x-gvfs-show,credentials=/etc/nas_passwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose

  However, mount commands refuses to work:

  $ sudo mount /mnt/nas 
  mount.cifs: bad UNC (\\\\192.168.1.110\\ExtHDD)

  I don't precisely know if fstab entries should contain escape
  characters (extra backslashes). Nonetheless, fstab-generator and mount
  command should have the same behaviour anyway.
