You would think this, but I've seen asterisk create 100 or more dumps in an hour of 10+Mb. Depending on Inode size, etc., this situation could push a system into a "hurting" capacity rather quickly. Also, many shops use older technology and compound this by RAID striping, which can reduce your effective capacity by up to 70%. Just an observation.

I was out yesterday and the cheapest and smallest drive they carried was a WD 160GB for $40, and until the last year the smallest drive you could get was 80GB, and the year before that 60GB. It'd take weeks of core dumps before a blip would show up in df unless it's constantly core dumping, which from what he said I suspect is not the case. -Ron _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
