Just make sure you have resilience in your shared storage device. Alternatively, you could use something like Puppet to deploy the files to all the servers. This is basically what we do, we use puppet to help distribute files to remote servers while still using app_queue. Shared network drive also works. -- Paul Belanger | PolyBeacon, Inc.

Oops, quite right, how typoful of me! Thanks for the excellent points, I'll look into gluster and puppet and see may way onwards from there. cheers, Olli 2015-02-06 12:32 GMT+02:00 Gareth Blades mailinglist+aster...@dns99.co.uk: On 06/02/15 07:54, Olli Heiskanen wrote: My goal is to allow my users record their own queue announcements and choose which announcements they want to use in each queue.

Yes you can do that although using NFS you will then have a single point of failure and in the standard NFS client configuration if you try to access a file which is on NFS but it is unavailable then the file access will hang. So you might be better off having the files copied onto each of the asterisks servers local file storage or use a redundant file system such as gluster. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
