I looked at the code and here's my understanding of how things will work. If I have two objects that have the same md5 hash, they will go to the same hash directory. Say, they go to /srv/node/r1/object/1024/eef/deadbeef/t1.data and /srv/node/r1/object/1024/eef/deadbeef/t2.data. Now, if I delete object t1, Swift will created a new file called t3.ts and put it in the hash directory. /srv/node/r1/object/1024/eef/deadbeef/t3.ts. When the replicator runs, it will delete all files with timestamp less than t3. So will it delete both t1 and t2? Thanks in advance. -Shri _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
