S3QL is a full blown file system that uses e.g. OpenStack Swift for saving data. Everything that S3QL stores on Swift will be encrypted. S3QL works with a database that holds vital metadata about your file system (e.g. the database holds the information that object "s3ql_data_2345" on Swift is the first 10 MB of the file "Vacation.mp4") without this metadata (and the encryption passphrase) you cannot make sense of the data that S3QL stores in Swift. As I understand you, you want to store files in a Swift container (like the "Vacation.mp4" file from above) directly. So that if you examine the contents of this container (e.g. with Cyberduck) you will directly see the file/ can download the file. That simply is not what S3QL does. Nearly all of the features <https://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/about.html#features> of S3QL couldn't be done if it would work that way. Maybe just try S3QL with a fresh OpenStack Swift Container. You will see what I mean then. Or if it is too complicated for a quick test, use the "Local" backend https://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/backends.html#local and compare the contents of the mount point and the local storage backend directory. > [...] if i will do ls on my local pc i will not see the files on the > swift storage ?? correct. Maybe tell us what you want to do in more detail? What problem should S3QL solve for you? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "s3ql" group.
