Generally, you would introduce latency in the storage system by using a NAS attached to a storage drive. Also, at scale, your costs will be dominated by drive, so you will want to optimize the storage nodes for dense, cheap storage. --John On Mar 16, 2012, at 8:32 AM, Michaël Van de Borne wrot

Re: [Openstack] Swift supported file system

That functionality is left up to a client. For example, you could use FUSE to spoof swift as a filesystem or you could use a client like Cyberduck or even write your own. Last week someone on this mailing list talked about adding webDAV support to swift. All of these "work" in that they present

Re: [Openstack] Swift supported file system

The storage volumes referenced in the ring are identified by an IP, port, and mount point. So, it is possible to use network attached storage for swift (as long as it still supports xattrs). However, I don't know if this has ever really been tried (especially in production), and I'd be surprised

That's great. Have you by any chance seen https://github.com/pandemicsyn/swift-informant? It's something similar that we've been playing with at Rackspace. --John On Feb 21, 2012, at 10:36 AM, Jasper Capel wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm announcing a piece of Swift middleware, swprobe [1], designed

Re: [Openstack] Swift container ACLs and container visibility question

It all depends on the auth system you are using. Below is for swauth and tempauth: Are the users using the same shared storage? If so, set them up as .admin users with the same storage endpoint. If they are not using the same shared storage, then you may be stuck. The ACL support in swauth and

A path query requires directory marker objects to be present (http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-object-storage/developer/content/ch03s02.html#d5e514) I would recommend using prefix+delimiter over path. Path query parameters are in swift to support backwards compatibility with the original Clou
