You specify a weight for each device that is added to the ring, this lets you cope with different sized disks e.g: Suppose sdb is 1TB and sdc 500GB $ swift-ring-builder object.builder add r1z1-192.168.122.21:6000/sdb 1 $ swift-ring-builder object.builder add r1z1-192.168.122.21:6000/sdc 0.5 Cheers Mark _______________________________________________ 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
