Can someone point me in the right direction to find documentation on best practices when setting up a new Asterisk server? I'm using RHES4 and Dell 1750 with TE412P. My current problems are frequent crashes and choppy audio so I think I can easily tweak these out of the picture. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[asterisk-users] Guide to better performance using * ?
We had a similar issue with a 'new' server here. We had a trixbox install and the kernel didn't support the particular type of motherboard/drive combination and the disk was not in DMA mode. There was nothing we could do to get it to work and eventually put in an older motherboard. Since then, its been working beautifully. Run a hdparm /dev/hda (or whatever your disk is) and make sure its in dma mode. -- Kevin Withnall ILB Computing PH: 02 4227 0001 Mobile: 0412 453 846 FAX: 02 4253 0001 http://www.ilb.com.au/ http://kevin.withnall.com/> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Stephen Bosch > Sent: Thursday, 15 February 2007 5:54 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Guide to better performance using * ? > > Tim Connolly wrote: > > Can someone point me in the right direction to find > documentation on > > best practices when setting up a new Asterisk server?
