Thanks again ,
So if I understand correctly, with s3ql if I will mount my local folder
(Home/test ) to a swift container , and I will do âcp â to a file to this
folder , then if I will enter the folder ( cd home/test) I will NOT Be able to
open The file or to copy it to other folder ?
Regarding â A file on an S3QL filesystem does not map to an object in the
underlying storage (Swift)â
That mean that I loss all the benefit of swift ?
Let me try again...
If you mount an S3QL filesystem somewhere, you can copy files to it. You
can copy files from it. You can move around and rename files. It acts
like a normal filesystem, with all the behaviors you expect from that.
However, the objects S3QL will store on Swift are blocks, not whole
files. So if you access the Swift object store directly (using the
Object Storage API), you'll see s3ql_data_1, s3ql_data_2, s3ql_data_3,
etc. Those are the blocks that store your files. So you can't (for
example) make your file public with a URL. Or access it in any other
Swift-supporting application.
If you want to access your files *only* using S3QL, it works well for that.
If you want to access your files with some other Object Storage API
client, or via URLs, pick one of the other options.
