[linux-audio-user] very lengthy recordings

please excuse the random spewing of ideas:

i work at a radio station, and it would be awesome if i could record
insanely long periods of time (for quality control).

i'd love to be able to record 24/7, with new audio replacing old.  a
400gig drive could hold two weeks of 16-bit 44.kHz stereo audio.  how
long could it survive constant writing?

alternatively, are there any one-line commands that will simply record
continuously to a series of files until a partition runs out of space?
