Yup, tried that and it's still not working.

I completely forgot about strace though, I'll be sure to give that a try.

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 />
