I do not use the rpi for any repeaters yet. I do not specify /tmp, but my files automatically are placed in /tmp.

I suspect that in porting the code to the rpi there must have been a change in the source code that changed that behavior.

Maybe by default, they send files to /dev/null to avoid using up the limited writes to the flash memory???

Can you plug in a usb hard drive to capture logs and recordings so as to save the flash memory from eventual destruction from too many writes?

So far I have lost 3 flash cards in experimental rpi use. I think each location in the flash is limited to a finite number of writes (maybe 100,000 per location) and software tries to keep moving files around to use up the entire flash evenly. But they do eventually fail.

Fixed it! Silly me.
#!/bin/sh
asterisk -r -x "voter record 1727 /tmp/voter-recordRTC"`date +%F-%H-%M` >> /var/log/voterrecordlog
The path needs to be defined in the command.

Will post all this to the wiki soon.

Thanks Chuck.

My /tmp directory isn't filling up with any files at all. I made sure there had been voter receiver activity, and ran the script a few times. In the log it shows a new filename everytime I run it.

Went directly into the command line and ran:
voter record 1727 voter-recordRTC1

I get back:
voter instance 1727 Record: Recording enabled info file voter-recordRTC1

Check activity, then send the same command with 2 at the end of the filename to change. Nothing appears in /tmp. I did a complete search on the Pi for everything with the name voter in it, and still cannot find the recordings.

I also have a tmpfs that I will have to make bigger once I get it working 25M 8.0K 25M 1% /tmp
