Free Polycom Provisioning Tool

Michael Munger has posted a link to the latest free Polycom Provisioning Tool - including a new home:

In 2007, I released a Polycom Provisioning Tool. I retired the package earlier this year, and have had so many requests for it, I have revived the concept, new, improved, and still FREE.

It now lives here:

http://www.phoneprovisioning.com/

Provision any Polycom phone from the web, and you can even use our servers to host the files for you.

It currently uses the newest version of the SIP application as well as the newest bootROM.

Enjoy!

Looks interesting - Planning on deploying 35 Poly's Q1 2010

mount -t nfs4 fails w/ permission denied; how to debug?

There is no "nfs4" filesystem type. If you want to use NFSV4, then
add "nfsvers=4" in the mount options field:

sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4 albus:/._disc1/sysadm/test1 /mnt/test1

You should also note that many NFSV4 hosts no longer support UDP (the
default NFS network protocol) and only work with TCP. You may need to
set the options to:

-o nfsvers=4,proto=tcp

for it to work under NFSV4.
