Hello Carlos,


    We have a server that records all calls so we set Mixmonitor with the b 
option to only record calls that are actually bridged. I notice that we have 
lost of 44 byte files in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor which correspond to calls 
that were not answered.  If a call is not answered I assume it was never 
bridged so why would Asterisk create a file?
Which version of asterisk are you running? Looks like this has been fixed some 
years ago :

Is there a way to avoid getting those empty files?  It makes finding recordings 
vey slow when there are hundreds of non relevant files in the monitor directory.
You could run a cron job that would periodically delete those 44 bytes files


Dispatching audio files in subdirectories may help performance-wise, for 
example :

  same => 
n,MixMonitor(/absolute/path/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)}/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)}/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d)}/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y-%m-%d)}-${CALLERID(num)}-${EXTEN}-${UNIQUEID}.gsm)


OTH

We are running 13.8.4 at the moment which was the latest when deployed. I guess the patch never made it to the trunk. The problem with running a script to cleanup is that you may drag files that are open at the moment but still at 44 bytes because they are still waiting to be bridged. I may start using subdirectories as you mention but that means I will still have lots of empty files to deal with.

    Thanks.
