I just tried to mount a Win7 ISO and it happened to have spaces in it, only to discover my proxmox environment would not mount it, and when an existing CDROM hardware device tried to mount it, the device would be removed.

The ISO file had some spaces in it, so I figured what the hell, and replacing the spaces with dashes "-" resolved this. It now mounts, and boots properly.
 
Works here, but depends on how you upload the ISO.

If you upload something like with "spaces and more.iso" using the Proxmox VE GUI, you will see it renamed to "with_spaces_and_more.iso"
 
I WinSCP'd into it and uploaded the file to /var/lib/vz/template/iso as I believe you (tom) had outlined in another thread ;o

Much faster than the WebGUI

But I'll slap this into a bug report on that tracker! Thanks for pointing me there JimBeam
