Hi All.
Can anyone tell me how difficult it would be to change the way asterisk stores/retrieves user
messages as follows?
Currently mailboxes are in 
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/{context}
But I need to store messages in a hash to limit the number of directories per context. All mailbox
extensions are the user's 10-digit phone number (aka, DID). The parts of a DID are as follows
407  555  1212
 ^   ^     ^
NPA  NXX  LINE
So my hashing would look like this
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/{context}/{npa}/{nxx}/{line}
And in the {line} directory we would have the usual Asterisk files/directories for inbox, etc.
We're looking at a large number of mailboxes and this would give us a maximum of 10000 mailboxes
per directory - which plays nice with the Linux file system.
So how much of Asterisk does this affect? I'm only using Asterisk for voicemail and I'm using SIP
eXpress Router for everything else.
Regards,
Paul
