<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Matt,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We're recording wav, mixing mp3.
The retries patch is more a proof of concept (Usually for that server load,
calling again <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>ast_get_channel_by_name_locked
finds the channel , that makes 20 retries).</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't think a .conf variable will do, I think the
list traversing functions needs some re-work considering that under heavy
load this problem will get worst.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If more people thinks this issue should be
addressed it can be followed up on mantis.</FONT></DIV>

for the last year and a half. It's a hard disk<BR>read/write speed issue for the
recordings. We've keep our recording drives<BR>on separate physical disks from
everything else and we try to keep that<BR>partition as defragged as possible
and that does help reduce the<BR>channel_walk_locked warnings and the associated
periodic recording audio<BR>skips.<BR><BR>I'm very interested in your experience
with changing the number of retries<BR>and your results as we have not tried
that yet. <BR><BR>What audio format do you record in(wav or gsm)?<BR>What do you
usually change the number of retries to and how are the results?<BR><BR>If this
can help significantly, maybe a config variable in features.conf<BR>would be in
order?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>MATT---<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
