We run our routers this way, but I haven't tried asterisk on it yet. Technically there should be no problem. There are a few things you want to consider: - compactflashcards are basically IDE devices, so Linux will see them as harddrives. Writing to them is a costly process so you will want a commit/rollback type setup for all files. Just stash your root-fs in a ramdrive and compress it to disk only when needed. This also ensures you get a working system back when you reboot after making some messed-up changes (crashes ?) - compactflashcards are generally slow devices, but if you load a ramdisk from the drive and use that to work with, the delay is not a problem. If we get more stock flashcards I'll try a setup and report :) Florian _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
