Hi Adrian ,

Thanks for your explanation ...

About Q2 , manifest question
Is there any audit mechanism to delete segments of failure uploading object?
What if the uploading procedure is been interrupted by user .
As you said , I think the segments still available for accessing .
On the other hand , it means that those segmented objects will keep on disk
in object-server , even though the uploading failure is caused by user him
self.

Is there any approach to remove those segmented objects? or it might waste
some disk space.

Thanks
