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

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
