[asterisk-users] Recordings.

[Steve Totaro]

On a modern server without IDE drives, you dont even need RAID to 
accomplish this.  Problems arise at around 50-60 calls in my experience 
(HPDL 360, 3Ghz, Gig of RAM and RAID 1 mirroring.  I run a cron job that 
checks files sizes and when they do not change within a specified period 
of time, they are considered complete and are FTPed to another server 
running SOX to MUX and compress the audio.

Above that, checkout Orkaudio or RAMdisk.  Orkaudio has my praises right 
now.  The team over there has tweaked a recording server for us to 
handle about 200 simultaneous calls and all the recording is done 
passively through Pcap and mirrored switch ports.

Thanks,
Steve
