Nope, that doesn't seem to be doing it...<br>

Depending on your shell, the colon immediately after your variable can be causing something other than what you expect. Try enclosing the HOSTNAME in curlies to avoid this confusion:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif;"> mount -t nfs -o hard,intr,nfsvers=2 ${HOSTNAME}:$SHARE $MOUNTPOINT</span><br>
<br>
I hope that helps,<br>

</font><br>
Ok, so I've run into a bit of a problem...<br>
<br>
We're running a streaming video server at my job, and rather then pay the<br>
company we got it from for a 2 terabyte upgrade, we wanted to use a NAS. (I<br>
know, it's a very bad idea, but it beats forking over tons of money for<br>
something as simple as a hard disk)<br>
<br>
The machine is running a 2.4 kernel, with some version of Red Hat. The NAS<br>
is running windows server 2003.<br>
<br>
When I tried to mount the NAS through samba, I discovered that the kernel<br>
doesn't have smbfs support built in, so I tried using NFS instead. The<br>
problem is, whenever I use the mount command, it just hangs. Here's the<br>
relevant line from the script I wrote:<br>
<br>
mount -t nfs -o hard,intr,nfsvers=2 $HOSTNAME:$SHARE $MOUNTPOINT<br>
<br>
I tried various versions of NFS, but it still doesn't seem to work. I also<br>
tried just passing "mount $HOSTNAME:$SHARE $MOUNTPOINT", but that didn't<br>
work either. Whenever I run
the command, it just hangs, and I have to open<br>
up another terminal and run killall on my script.<br>
<br>
The NAS can be pinged from the machine, so it's accessible from the<br>
network. The variables I'm specifying are correct as well.<br>
<br>
Anybody have a clue what may be going on?<br>
<br>
