Huge problem, may have an easy solution

Dear Matt/William...

I am facing a huge issue and after going through all the evidence i am pretty sure its recording all calls that makes my machine go slow... i have no choice but to record them... now by default calls are getting recorded on hard drive...

Any chance i can know how i can use RAM drive for it.. i am having no problems in upgrading RAM to any extent...

Have you looked at SCRATCH_INSTALL document?

http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/scr ... stall.html

....

1. Make several entries in the rc.local of your system:
- on the command line type:
- vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
- add the following entries(here's what we used):

### uncomment If kernel RAM drive is enabled
# mke2fs -m 0 /dev/ram0
# mount /dev/ram0 /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
....

Search for 'ram drive' in forum search:
http://www.eflo.net/VICIDIALforum/viewt ... =ram+drive

UPGRADE file:

########## UPGRADING FROM 2.0.4 TO 2.0.5 ##########
....
14. Recording to RAM now uses tmpfs it is usually included in all kernels if you want
to check in in menuconfig you will find it under
File Systems --> Pseudo filesystems --> [*] Virtual memory file system support.
It does not hurt to enable
[*] Tmpfs POSIX Access Control Lists
as well.
The following line should be added to /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /var/spool/asterisk/monitor tmpfs rw 0 0
Mounting the ramdisk in rc.local should be remove:
# mke2fs -m 0 /dev/ram0
# mount /dev/ram0 /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
This allows for a more efficient use of memory and recording to RAM with less RAM
available.

There is really plenty of information for just about any aspect of vicidial, you just need to search for it.

Just imagine how much spare time we could save the developers, by searching if our question hasn't been answered already...

I am really sorry... for being dumb here... but search option acually is not very efficient... it almost comes back with all the entries...

anyways i appreciate the time you took to answer my question and would go through the scratch install doc... i got manager manual also and i would look like a fool if its mentioned there as well...

thanks a lot anyways...
