Re: Yanking Compact Flash while the router is up...

I have seen it cause a router to crash when the router was
configured for SRST MOH and it could no longer read the
audio file from flash.... if i recall this may have been due
to a bug also in earlier IOS versions. What I did to get
around the issue the one time I had to deal with an urgent
issue and had to do this, was briefly unconfigure the SRST
MOH and reboot the router so it wasn't accessing the flash
all the time.

Works fine in my experience - not to say it won't crash the
router, just 
that I haven't seen it crash a router

Well, I have done it twice in the last two weeks, no
problems.

Neither of the routers was a voice gateway, they were just
boring WAN routers...
