Bring it down, really? I think monitor would just complain that it couldn't write to a device. I suppose you could have problems if your recording partition was also your system partition, but that would be true for any application, such as apache web activity logs. > Also, with Asterisk (last I knew) ~60 simultaneous calls, the audio starts > breaking up very badly due to I/O. This would be channel and system independent. For instance i/o blocking could cause problems but why would it affect simple non-mixed audio, like simple bridged Dahdi channels? > OrecX can do over 300 simultaneous calls and only need port mirroring > enabled on your switch.

How about asterisk, writing to a ramdisk for recordings, and every five minutes or so syncing off the completed recordings to a SAN? (You may have guessed I did this, and pushed it past 60 simultaneous recordings). _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
