<div dir="ltr">Hello!<br><br>The problem is a file locking problem that Asterisk needs to make changes to the directory. I was initially shying away from NFS and Samba, because I prefer to avoid any sort of security issues with only remotely mounting one or two directories. NFS and Samba are designed for larger applications, which makes those types of technology worthwhile.<br>
<br>I am wondering if there is any way to disable Asterisk's request to lock the directory. I know this may cause some loss in data, but for the volume voicemail receives, it should be rare enough that would make this approach an option.<br>

<div>
<p>Hello!</p>
</div><div><div></div><div class="h5">

<p> </p>

<div>
<p>I am trying to mount a remote directory for voicemail using
sshfs. However, whenever Asterisk attempts to write the file, it fails,
because SSHFS cannot lock the directory. Is there a solution to this
problem or an alternative method for using a remote directory for voicemail?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
