I have been using flash-based asterisk and it works fine as long as you are careful about the maker - SanDisk did not work properly, we currently use the RiData flash disk and are happy with it. I have a Kingston Tech flash disk that was flaky and finally failed yesterday. They are not the fastest - running hdparm -tT on them reveals a speed of 2Mb/s which is about a third of the speed of 100Mbits ethernet. For call recording I usually add an IDE hard drive and make sure that most filesystems (e.g. /var,/tmp..) are loaded into a RAM disk Paul Hewlett -- Paul Hewlett - CottonPickinMinds - www.cottonpickinminds.co.za Tel: +27 21 852 8812 Cel: +27 84 420 9282 Fax: +27 86 672 0563 -- _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
