Hi,

Not sure I am in the right place but thought I would give it a go.

We have a s3 service using IBM Spectrum Scale that builds on/uses Openstack Swift.

The problem that we are having is that if the client/user is using Veeam the bucket gets locked. IBM explains that it has something to do with outstanding requests/timeouts. And the bucket gets locked, and the client/user/Veeam cannot access it any longer.

This happens all the time. So my questions is:

• What can I do about it? Anything that can be tuned in Swift?
• IBM tells me to spread the load across multiple buckets – but Veeam does not have support for that (as far as I understand)
• Any kind of tuning that needs to be done in Veeam (if anyone would know)
• We have tried lowering “concurrent tasks” to 1, but still the bucket gets locked.
