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 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
