Dear All: A strange thing seems to happen. It looks like this: - I upload a key named "testdata" [zaitcev at simbelmyne tests]$ /q/zaitcev/hail/swift-tip/bin/swift -A http://kvm-rei:5000/v1.0 -U zaitcev -K pass list test-1235163301 testdata [zaitcev at simbelmyne tests]$ I have a script that also finds size (104857600) and MD5 (49289935f687585f5e95e94c7c1ec29d). - Then, I run swift-get-node, on the node where proxy resides: [root at kvm-rei zaitcev]# swift-get-nodes /etc/swift/object.ring.gz zaitcev test-1235163301 testdata Account zaitcev Container test-1235163301 Object testdata Partition 147444 Hash 8ffd13698cf92ef170db5db21f5efd9f Server:Port Device 192.168.129.20:6010 vdb Server:Port Device 192.168.129.18:6020 vdc Server:Port Device 192.168.129.18:6010 vdb Server:Port Device 192.168.129.20:6020 vdc [Handoff] curl -I -XHEAD "http://192.168.129.20:6010/vdb/147444/zaitcev/test-1235163301/testdata" curl -I -XHEAD "http://192.168.129.18:6020/vdc/147444/zaitcev/test-1235163301/testdata" curl -I -XHEAD "http://192.168.129.18:6010/vdb/147444/zaitcev/test-1235163301/testdata" curl -I -XHEAD "http://192.168.129.20:6020/vdc/147444/zaitcev/test-1235163301/testdata" # [Handoff] ssh 192.168.129.20 "ls -lah /srv/node/vdb/objects/147444/d9f/8ffd13698cf92ef170db5db21f5efd9f/" ssh 192.168.129.18 "ls -lah /srv/node/vdc/objects/147444/d9f/8ffd13698cf92ef170db5db21f5efd9f/" ssh 192.168.129.18 "ls -lah /srv/node/vdb/objects/147444/d9f/8ffd13698cf92ef170db5db21f5efd9f/" ssh 192.168.129.20 "ls -lah /srv/node/vdc/objects/147444/d9f/8ffd13698cf92ef170db5db21f5efd9f/" # [Handoff] [root at kvm-rei zaitcev]# - Finally, I actually find the file and verify it: [root at kvm-rei zaitcev]# find /srv/node/vdc -type f -a -size 104857600c /srv/node/vdc/objects/221984/51c/d8c8047f0c10449d1a264371874f851c/1331343894.44919.data [root at kvm-rei zaitcev]# md5sum /srv/node/vdc/objects/221984/51c/d8c8047f0c10449d1a264371874f851c/1331343894.44919.data 49289935f687585f5e95e94c7c1ec29d /srv/node/vdc/objects/221984/51c/d8c8047f0c10449d1a264371874f851c/1331343894.44919.data [root at kvm-rei zaitcev]# The question is, why the discrepancy? Before I dive into the construction of the ring, is this a known issue? Or do I do something obviously wrong with arguments of swift-get-nodes? Curious, -- Pete
