[asterisk-users] Recording the Calls to a USB Drive

[Danny Nicholas]

Just my opinion; unless you are recording long or many long calls, you
should record to your local drive, then copy the files to the USB drive.
Asterisk is a very good tool - you don't need to mess it up by introducing
an easy "point of failure".

Subject: [asterisk-users] Recording the Calls to a USB Drive

 

Hi Guys,

 

Merry Christmas and Happy new Year. 

 

I am looking for some assistance from the group as i think this might
already have been tried before.

 

i have an asterisk server with a external USB Harddisk Drive, just to store
recordings. I am using the mixmonitor application for doing the recordings.

 

When i have active calls that are being recorded to the USB Drive, and if my
USB disk fails for some odd reason, like hardware failure or power
failure..., asterisk complains that it is unable to write the recording to
the USB Drive either by crashing asterisk or generate an infinite loop of
errors on the asterisk console (Input/Ouptut Errors). If I try to unload the
module app_mixmonitor.so, asterisk crashes.

 

 

I am wondering if we can make asterisk stop recording on all the recorded
calls and not to crash/generate errors if it does not see the USB drive any
more. i thought the easiest way is to unload the app_mixmonitor module, but
unfortunately it is crashing asterisk at the same time.

 

Thanks

Krishna
