You can use swift-get-nodes to see how a swift ring would distribute specific objects, this gives you the curl to query the appropriate service on each node directly to confirm whether they're actually there. A more useful tool might be the swift-dispersion-report and -populate tools which is designed to place objects across the cluster and report on the replica availability and cluster health from a cron or something. http://swift.openstack.org/admin_guide.html#cluster-health On 2 May 2012, at 21:48, Duncan McGreggor wrote: cc'ing openstack list On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Richard Raseley <Richard at raseley.com<mailto:Richard at raseley.com>> wrote: I am trying to figure out the best way to see view the distribution of a file or files across my test swift setup. I want to basically upload a file or files to containers and then be able to run a command or script that will tell me "See, these files *are* actually distributed over these particular zones / nodes." Is there anything built into Swift like this? Thank you in advance for your answers.
