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".

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
