i have Asterisk 13.10.0 on SHMZ release 6.6 machine.
we have a problem that too many recordings file types - wav , ulaw , sln48
ones in a while i see recordings are gatherd to 20G !
whe i hear the recordings its a real conversation between extentions and client and
the original recording is saved at the /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
i dont understand what make this recordings copy them selfs.
logs have no record on this.
check in the file /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf if you have some caching configuration:
cache_record_files = ; Cache recorded sound files to another
; directory during recording.
record_cache_dir = ; Specify cache directory (used in conjunction
; with cache_record_files).
They suppose to be deleted after moving the files to the right place.
Check the permissions as well (fwconsole chown)
In the worst case, you can always delete them through a daily cron job .
