 We have around 3.8tb but we're wanting to move from gluster to swift (which we're currently using 2.6tb). We're a small not-for-profit in the UK. We don't have the funds to support replicating data right now.

 If I'm no mistaken, that will stop replication for new objects but also stop checking for old objects consistency (maybe l, just maybe you will loose information if you disk or network disruption) I consider this a quick and dirty fix in the mean time you get more disk space without stop serving write IO, better option to preserve old objects consistency will be maybe to put your cluster in read-only but from the ACL, not from the Linux boxes.
Can I ask what is the current space statuses on your cluster drives?

 We're just setting it up so i can erase everything. Ah so if i stoped the object replicator service, that'll be fine?

 question:Do you want to delete replicas of old objects? o just disable it for future objects until you get more disk/nodes?for the second did you try to stop the object replicator service?

 Thanks! But that doesn’t tell you how to disable as the value must be one or higher? Unless it’s not 1+1 (or what ever you set as the replica value).

Hello, I would like Swift to only have 1 file not any copies of it, how do I disable replication as you must set the value to 1 when you create the rings?
(We don’t have the disk space to have replication / copies of the files)
