Hi,

In my deployment scenario, I plan to have two redundant freeswitch
servers running on two different boxes. Two key features I am
leveraging on freeswitch are voicemail and call recording and
playback., and as a result of that, a shared storage for playback of
the recorded wav files is needed. When the user traffic is high, I am
affraid that NFS or even GFS can't scale well. On the other hand, a
real SAN hardware with optical-fabric is too expensive for us. We are
therefore considering using iSCSI SAN to build a cheap SAN for that
purpose.

Does anyone have experience setting up a shared storage between
multiple freeswitch servers and can share some inputs with me?

Thanks for all your help.

Woody

Whats wrong with NFS?

As long as you put a reasonable disk subsystem you'll be fine... GFS sucks
for voice anyway... It can take several seconds to get a lock...

No matter what you use, you have to remember that you *MUST* have a cluster
aware file system, simply mounting the same iscsi or SAN LUN on 2 different
boxes running ext3 won't work since things aren't guaranteed to be flushed
until a sync is called
