[asterisk-users] Storing voicemail on samba share

[Matt Watson]

It would probably be wiser to run an IMAP server and do imap storage instead of writing to a cifs-mounted directory... or use ODBC storage... assuming they are running a database server somewhere.

I don't have any experience with having * write voicemail files to CIFS/SMBFS, but I also think its not something I would try... I've personally always found that most network file systems don't tend to handle disconnects (server reboots, network outages, etc.) very well.  Mind you, it might of come along way since the last time I tried.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Storing voicemail on samba share

A client has asked that our asterisk installation leverage their large investment in their existing data center infrastructure.  We're thinking about putting the voicemail messages onto a Samba share (on their file servers).  Any pros/cons to this?  Does network/samba latency create choppiness?

Thanks,
