I was thinking of NFS, but was also concerned about its reliability. Were your performance issues related to file access times? Also, if the server was ever unavailable, it would be useful to play a default prompt that was guaranteed to be on the local disk. Is there any existing fail-over mechanism built into FreeSWITCH?

I hadn't heard of MooseFS, so I will look into that as well, thanks.

We had some performance issues with NFS, we switched to MooseFS for voice prompts as well as recordings with very good results.

If your files are on a remote server you can mount it locally using NFS or something else.

My understanding is that the playback application can only play a local
file, is that correct?
I did notice that there is a shell_stream module, which you could
potentially use to retrieve a file (say, via HTTP), and provide the
audio data as the output bash script output. Is there a way to do this
or something similar without having to actually load another program/script?

Thanks,
