Open Stack

Thanks Pete!

We were using Grizzly, which is over a release old, with Folsom Keystone for RHEL. So not recent at all. Is there something that would be missing in RHEL5.x which would cause performance issues? I saw some references to fallocate, but not much beyond that. Is this something you would expect to see?

Which was the first RHEL release was Swift supported on officially?  I tried to find a support matrix or supportable platforms but could not find anything..

I don't think an RDO for RHEL 5.x ever existed. First packages were built a year after RHEL 6 GA shipped. The oldest build in Koji is openstack-swift-1.0.2-5.fc15 (a community build by Silas), and the oldest RHOS build is openstack-swift-1.4.8-2.el6 from 2012.

Frankly I'm surprised you managed to get it running at all. (Which Swift release is that, BTW? We even require PBR nowadays.)

I dimly remember bothering with XFS for RHEL 5, but it was so long ago that I cannot even remember if I got that cluster to do anything useful.
