Hi all, I have the following questions regarding the file allocation policy in Openstack Swift: 1. Are the uploaded files/objects mapped to partitions solely based on the name by hashing? Is there any way that I could force a particular file to reside on a particular disk? 2. How are the partitions mapped to disks? Is there any way that I could force a particular partition to reside on a particular disk? 3. Are the sizes of all partitions the same? (I am aware that a partition is a virtual concept but I am interested in whether a limit is placed on how many files are assigned to a particular partition ) I am asking the above questions as I have a few files which are accessed very frequently and would like them to reside on one of the SSDs that we have. Does OpenStack Swift internally provide this option? If not how does Swift accommodate for such SLA bound requirements without violating the concept of partitions? It would be of great help if you could explain the internal working of swift with respect to this scenario. Regards, Sai Vishwas Padigi
