I was wondering if anyone is working on graceful failure for chan_zap?
Let me explain the situation. We are using a T100P and TDM400P (4 FXS for fax). There was a major power outage and asterisk went down after the UPS (not a graceful shutdown -- my fault, no apcupsd running).
As soon as power came back, the server started. However when it loaded wcfxs, port 3 on the card failed the tests (I assume from the module not being unloaded before power off). Because this one port failed the test, chan_zap failed to load and asterisk will not start.
An unload and load of modules would not fix it. I had to unload and restart (a clean restart).
While the unclean shutdown can be controlled in the future, I have had ports go bad and when they do asterisk will not start until the offending lines are removed from zapata.conf. This is not a very resilient solution (especially if you are not on site). I would much prefer for asterisk to keep running with what it has got.
I will be looking into the code (and this might be fixed in cvs-head), but I would like to start a discussion on this first.
Thanks,
