Steve, I have not tried RAID with DIAL. Based on RAID controllers, I assume you are running hardware RAID. Which controller? I will not have time to test this until next week. 73, Steve N4IRS On 10/09/2015 09:29 AM, Steve Mahler wrote:

I am having great success running a full ACID install from a ram drive. My machines run 4gb RAM no hard drive. I boot from a flash drive into the RAM Drive. My configs are stored in a 2nd partition on the flash drive. My /etc/fstab mounts the 2nd partition to /mnt. My configs are copied from /mnt/etc/asterisk to /etc/asterisk every time the machine reboots. I like this approach for many reasons. The main one being file system integrity. If my flash drive dies I replace it with a back up. The whole node runs from ram. I have no glitches. If my system gets hacked nothing is permanent, rebooting cleanses the file system. If anyone wants more info just ask. I will share my work with anyone who asks... This will NOT run on a BBB or RPi This build is for a dual core Intel. Specially the Atom processor. But should run on any dual core processor. I run this build in my HP T5745 THIN CLIENTS. The filesystem is 1.7gb compressed down to about 450mb. I use a 2gb flash drive and have lots of room left over My next project is to rebuild this system using DIAL. 73, Ron N6GKJ On Oct 9, 2015 6:46 AM, "Steve Mahler" <kizzy@lusfiber.net> wrote:

This sounds like an excellent security architecture. If integrated into DIAL then it should(?) make it's way to the BBB and Pi builds. After that a script to lock down root and firewall rules may be all that is left to be done...

I don't believe this method could work for BBB or RPi as neither of those boards have sufficient RAM to use my process. I use 4gb ram. I split the RAM into hard drive and operation ram. 2gb hard drive and 2 gb operations ram. If you were to take DIAL and basically turn it into LIMEY you could probably do it. But you would be giving up much. On Oct 10, 2015 12:36 PM, "Steven Donegan" <donegan@donegan.org> wrote:

Ahh, yes RAM is very limited. And even if you added SPI based RAM getting either platform to run off of it would be a challenge. Perhaps boot from SD and then copy to USB attached storage and run from there? This would make booting much slower but may result in the same basic result...

You could modify the process to use a read-only NFS drive for the system files, configs, etc and then use a MFS drive for the logs and anything that doesn't need to "hang around". The bootstrap could be done via flash/sdcard/usb with it loading everything over the network. Almost like a PXE booted system. -Stacy KG7QIN On 10/10/2015 12:54 PM, Steven Donegan wrote:
