Just a thought, no real though or testing involved.

I think a lot of that would depend on *how* you put the files there. smbclient? cifs mount? I would say write them locally, and then use a looper script to push them to the other server... though on reflection, Asterisk might not be happy with that. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Re: [asterisk-users] Storing voicemail on samba share
It would probably be wiser to run an IMAP server and do imap storage instead of writing to a cifs-mounted directory... or use ODBC storage... assuming they are running a database server somewhere. I don't have any experience with having * write voicemail files to CIFS/SMBFS, but I also think its not something I would try... I've personally always found that most network file systems don't tend to handle disconnects (server reboots, network outages, etc.) very well. Mind you, it might of come along way since the last time I tried. -- Matt From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of OCG Technical Support Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 3:34 PM To: 'Asterisk Users List' Subject: [asterisk-users] Storing voicemail on samba share A client has asked that our asterisk installation leverage their large investment in their existing data center infrastructure.
