If you look at the raw API response from a HEAD on the "testing" container (maybe with curl) I think you'll see that you've set the wrong metadata key.
You should set "X-Version-Location: test_cont" instead of "X-Container-Meta-X-Version-Location: test_cont" The `-m` option for `swift post` is only for setting user metadata; unfortunately it doesn't look like you can set arbitrary headers with `swift post`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1226256 I did this: curl -H 'x-auth-token: <your-auth-token-goes-here>' http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_test/testing -X POST -H 'x-versions-location: test_cont' -Clay On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 6:12 AM, Raghavendra Rangrej <rrrang...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying swift object versioning using swift CLIs (using swift post to > change meta data). > In container-server.conf, I have set the flag allow_versions = true. > > With CLI, I added meta data as follows: > > swift stat testing > Account: AUTH_1335922166fb4c43a4929f4fba670f3712dw > Container: testing > Objects: 3 > Bytes: 157 > Read ACL: -v > Write ACL: > Sync To: > Sync Key: > Meta X-Versions-Location: test_cont > Accept-Ranges: bytes > X-Timestamp: 1379065681.40505 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > > swift stat test_cont > Account: AUTH_1335922166fb4c43a4929f4fba670f3712dw > Container: test_cont > Objects: 3 > Bytes: 42 > Read ACL: > Write ACL: > Sync To: > Sync Key: > Accept-Ranges: bytes > X-Timestamp: 1379066009.84224 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > If I upload a new content of the object in testing container, I am > expecting a version to be created in test_cont container. > But it is not the case. > > I was expecting once the flag is set and meta data is changed, old > versions should be stored in test_cont dirs but it is not the case > Even swift restart didn't help. > > Any idea ? if my expectation is wrong or swift versioning has issues? > I am using swift 1.4.0 version > > swift --version > swift 1.4.0 > > Thanks for your time > > Raghavendra > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack > Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org > Unsubscribe : > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack >
