asterisk users - Apr 2003 - how many voicemail box asterisk can support

Hi:
when add a new voicemailbox, asterisk will create a new directory to it.
since linux has limitation for the number of subdirectory. i wonder
how many voicemailbox can asterisk support?

thanks.

As far as I can tell the only limit is the running out of inodes at a certain 
time, and the practical limit for entries in directories. So it depends on 
your filesystem, really.

I'd be shocked if you reached the limit with voice mail.

It's not the number of subdirectories on linux I hope -- it should be the
number of inodes in use or something similar.  Note that I'm a NetBSD
hacker and this linux thing is something I'm going to try very hard to
remove as soon as asterisk runs reliably on NetBSD.  It's very close,
thanks to work from someone with OpenBSD.

This is dependant on inodes. Use df -i to see your free inode count. If
you are real worried about it, switch that partition to XFS which
dynamically creates inodes as needed.
