[OpenSIPS-Users] restart_persistency Permission denied

[Marcin Groszek]

Thank you. I do have 2 more questions regarding restart_persistency.

How do I estimate the size of cache file needed for my instant?

Calls that are ringing do not survive the restart, is this normal behavior?

ngrep shows no respond from opensips to 200 upon answer.
