<div>Yes that is exactly what I am seeing. I mount the recordings stroage via NFS only because the master backend has much more space then the slave backend, but the slave-BE does most of the recording. It is as if the slave-BE uses a local cache that the Master-BE/FE can't see.

<div>What happens if, for the stand alone FE, you do NOT mount the NFS, just let the backends stream?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I haven't setup a standalone FE, but plan to, I had not planned on mounting the NFS on that FE. I would mount the audio and video, but not the recordings storage. Does that make sense?</div>
