Hi Cody,

Yes, AstLinux uses "tmpfs" (RAM based) file storage for some paths.  The 
official persistent storage path is /mnt/kd/ and below is always saved across 
reboots.

For the special case of Asterisk sound files, we offer a useful symlink to a 
/mnt/kd/custom-sounds directory if it exists.

This is what I suggest you do from the CLI ...
--
mkdir /mnt/kd/custom-sounds

service asterisk stop
service asterisk init
--

With this the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom-sounds path points to 
/mnt/kd/custom-sounds, so if you had a sound file 
/mnt/kd/custom-sounds/greeting.ulaw you could reference it via the Asterisk 
dialplan as "custom-sounds/greeting.ulaw".

You can also add additional directories in /mnt/kd/custom-sounds/ say 
/mnt/kd/custom-sounds/tts/ as such you could reference sound files as 
"custom-sounds/tts/greeting.ulaw".

Clear ?

Lonnie
