You need the daemons running 24/7 not only when you change the ring :) Specifically the replicators must be running to get the objects to their eventual place (which may have changed by the ring rebalancing you had performed).
(You also need to copy the ring to all you servers) DH Regards, David Hadas, Openstack Swift ATC, Architect, Master Inventor IBM Research Labs, Haifa Tel: Int+972-4-829-6104 Fax: Int+972-4-829-6112 From: "Vengurlekar, Tushar V (USD-SWD)" <tushar.vengurle...@hp.com> To: "openstack@lists.launchpad.net" <openstack@lists.launchpad.net>, Date: 27/06/2013 05:43 PM Subject: [Openstack] Re-balancing of RING does not level up my objects in old devices Sent by: "Openstack" <openstack-bounces +davidh=il.ibm....@lists.launchpad.net> Hello, I have a question related to balancing swift objects across devices added to the ring. I have Swift setup which initially created with 2 devices in it (weight 100) and partition power 12. These devices now started filling up to its capacity (~90% of its size). So now I added 2 new devices (weight 100) to the ring and performed rebalance. The ring shows me all new configurations with correct partitions mapped to each device. But even after running ring rebalance command I do not see my objects are balanced (level up) to the newer devices. (i.e. older devices still consume 90% of space, while new devices are empty) So do I need to perform any additional action (run object updater once) to achieve this?
