Correct. gluster-swift itself is pretty much stateless here and uses glusterfs for storing all user related data. You can also choose between two auth systems - tempauth and gswauth. Tempauth stores usernames and password (plaintext!) in a conf file at /etc/swift while gswauth uses a dedicated glusterfs volume to store username and password (hashed). The ACL information is stored in xattrs regardless of which of the above two auth mechanisms you choose to use. gluster-swift has it's configurations files at /etc/swift and also has ring files there. These ring files determine which volumes are made available over swift interface. If you have 10 volumes, you can choose to make only few of them available over object interface. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
