<div dir="ltr">Thanks Christian I think thats exactly what I needed - I will try and make 2 new rings and see how that works.

<br>
Use the following command to create another ring:<br>
<br>
swift-ring-builder /etc/swift/object-1.builder create 15 3 1<br>
<br>
Storage Policies are addressed by an index number (see the blog post,<br>
for example storage-policy:0), and these are related to the ring files:<br>
<br>
storage-policy:0 -> /etc/swift/object-0.ring.gz<br>
<br>
storage-policy:1 -> /etc/swift/object-1.ring.gz<br>
<br>
and so on.<br>
<br>
Policy 0 is the default one, and if there is no ring file named<br>
"/etc/swift/object-0.ring.gz" Swift tries to use<br>
"/etc/swift/object.ring.gz".<br>
<br>
Let me know if this helps!<br>
