Thanks a lot<br><br>and for using a shared folder mounted on nfs as the storage backend for swift? is it possible??<br><br>best regards<br>Khaled<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Subject: Re: [Openstack] Swift supported file system<br>> From: me@not.mn<br>> Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:47:44 -0600<br>> CC: florian.hines@gmail.com; openstack@lists.launchpad.net<br>> To: khaled-bbk@hotmail.com<br>> <br>> 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.<br>> <br>> All of these "work" in that they present swift to the user as a filesystem. However, swift doesn't follow POSIX semantics and therefore any attempt to force swift into such a model will have drawbacks (mostly with regards to performance).<br>> <br>> --John<br>> <br>> <br>> On Jan 23, 2012, at 4:47 AM, Khaled Ben Bahri wrote:<br>> <br>> > Thanks for your answer,<br>> > <br>> > For the first question I meant, tha i wish to mount a shared forlder that uses swift for storage<br>> > <br>> > Best Regards<br>> > Khaled<br>> > <br>> > Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:59:56 -0600<br>> > From: florian.hines@gmail.com<br>> > To: openstack@lists.launchpad.net<br>> > Subject: Re: [Openstack] Swift supported file system<br>> > <br>> > On Friday, January 20, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Khaled Ben Bahri wrote:<br>> > Hi,<br>> > <br>> > Can any one please tell me if we can mount and use for openstack swift a mounted shared folder as a storage device<br>> > <br>> > Do you mean use shared storage as the storage backend for swift?
