Tim Burke cb37d3acd6 docs: Clean up mount options
* Stop specifying logbufs=8; that's the default
* Stop including nodiratime with noatime; the latter implies the former

Nothing wrong with being explicit, I suppose, but may as well keep the
mount options to what we can easily explain: we want noatime because
Swift does not use atime, so we don't want to lose any performance to
tracking atime.

Install and configure the storage nodes for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section describes how to install and configure storage nodes
that operate the account, container, and object services. For
simplicity, this configuration references two storage nodes, each
containing two empty local block storage devices. The instructions
use ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc``, but you can substitute different
values for your particular nodes.
Although Object Storage supports any file system with
extended attributes (xattr), testing and benchmarking
indicate the best performance and reliability on XFS. For
more information on horizontally scaling your environment, see the
`Deployment Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/deployment_guide.html>`_.
This section applies to openSUSE Leap 42.2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
12 SP2.
Prerequisites
-------------
Before you install and configure the Object Storage service on the
storage nodes, you must prepare the storage devices.
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the supporting utility packages:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install xfsprogs rsync
#. Format the ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc`` devices as XFS:
.. code-block:: console
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc
#. Create the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdb
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdc
#. Find the UUID of the new partitions:
.. code-block:: console
# blkid
#. Edit the ``/etc/fstab`` file and add the following to it:
.. code-block:: none
UUID="<UUID-from-output-above>" /srv/node/sdb xfs noatime 0 2
UUID="<UUID-from-output-above>" /srv/node/sdc xfs noatime 0 2
#. Mount the devices:
.. code-block:: console
# mount /srv/node/sdb
# mount /srv/node/sdc
#. Create or edit the ``/etc/rsyncd.conf`` file to contain the following:
.. code-block:: none
uid = swift
gid = swift
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
address = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
[account]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/account.lock
[container]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/container.lock
[object]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = False
lock file = /var/lock/object.lock
Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address of the
management network on the storage node.
.. note::
The ``rsync`` service requires no authentication, so consider running
it on a private network in production environments.
7. Start the ``rsyncd`` service and configure it to start when the
system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable rsyncd.service
# systemctl start rsyncd.service
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
.. note::
Default configuration files vary by distribution. You might need
to add these sections and options rather than modifying existing
sections and options. Also, an ellipsis (``...``) in the configuration
snippets indicates potential default configuration options that you
should retain.
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the packages:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install openstack-swift-account \
openstack-swift-container openstack-swift-object python-xml
2. .. include:: storage-include1.txt
3. .. include:: storage-include2.txt
4. .. include:: storage-include3.txt
5. Ensure proper ownership of the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# chown -R swift:swift /srv/node
