+===================================================================
+OpenStack-Ansible Swift Mount drives in storage nodes Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+Playbook under the folder
+
+ansible_tools/playbooks/swift_storage_mount_drives.yml
+
+This playbook mainly helps to mount the drives in swift object nodes,
+if not prior mounted and formatted.
+
+The steps it performs are:
+  - Format the disks mentioned in swift configuration file
+    in openstack-ansible to the filesystem mentioned in the playbook
+    (editable by the end-user in playbook).
+  - Mount the drives to the the device-path(mentioned in the playbook
+    and is editable) like /dev/sdb or /opt/sdb or /openstack/sdb.
+
+This removes the manual effort of mounting and makes the swift users
+life easier by mounting the devices.
+
+How to run the playbook
+=======================
+
+ansible-playbook ansible_tools/playbooks/swift_storage_mount_drives.yml
+
+This will mount all the drives in the swift object nodes
