Hey guys, Iam having a peculiar problem with my asterisk installation. The specs are..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# asterisk -V Asterisk 1.2.7.1 Wildcard: Digium Wildcard TE110P T1/E1 Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV I (4 modules) ( 2 FXO, 2 FXS) Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV I (4 modules) ( 1 FXO, 3 FXS) Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM2400P Prototype (24 modules) (12 FXO's - rest empty) Total 15 FX0's, 5 FXS out of which 5 to 6 FXO/FXS are being used. We have about 300 active SIP accounts. Queues, SIP extensions, Agents are in MySQL database using asterisk realtime static. CPU : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz with Hyper threading RAM : 1G Mobo : Intel SE7501HG2 The system is stable, however, the IDE disk crashes every 3/4 months. There are DMA timeout errors for the IDE disk before it fails completely. The same issue occured for the past three disks and I was doubting the recommended hdparm setting 'hdparm -d 1 -X udma2 -c 3 /dev/IDE Device' So, I removed this setting after the last crash and the system workd fine for another 3 months. Yes'day, the disk failed again with same symptoms. All the disks were seagate baraccuda IDE drives. zttool doesnt show any IRQ misses even without the above hdparm setting and there is no noticeable problem in asterisk with the PRI line etc. Below is my /proc/interrupts as well as /dev/hda settings.

Please advice. Should i be using SCSI disks on RAID 1 or something ? Will that help ? Also, should i be looking at any other mobo then Intel SE7501HG2 ? Iam planning to put in a another asterisk server as a failover and would appreciate inputs abt the kind of hardware i should be using for the system with the specs i mentioned.
