Turn of stat() system calls used to fetch the file size during a container listing operation since these system calls can swamp Gluster and the result is most often not used. When a GET or HEAD request is made on a container, stat() system calls are made during the Python standard library method, os.walk, to determine if a given directory entry is another directory to recurse into, and then utils._update_list() will stat() each file to get it size, and finally utils.get_container_details_from_fs() will stat() each directory encountered. For most installations we have seen so far, we don't need the container listing to accurately return the size of all the objects in the container, so we can reduce the number of stat() system calls by not fetching the size of the object. For now, turn it off by default, and provide an /etc/swift/fs.conf configuration parameter to turn it back on: accurate_size_in_listing = yes The default for the above is "no".

Gluster Unified File and Object Storage allows files and directories created via gluster-native/nfs mount to be accessed as containers and objects. It is a plugin for OpenStack Swift project. Install * TBD Once this is done, you can access the GlusterFS volumes as Swift accounts. Add the Volume names with the user-name and its corresponding password to the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf (follow the syntax used in the sample conf file). Command to start the servers (TBD) swift-init main start Command to stop the servers (TBD) swift-init main stop
