[David Hadas <DAVIDH@xxxxxxxxxx>]

AShish,

Your email and the problem you described puzzled me.
I think I realize what had happened, but not sure.

First a background question:
1. what is the replication ratio used in your cluster?
   You indicated an SAIO - so you must have 3 replicas, but I am still not
sure how all that had happened with 3 replicas (makes some more sense with
1)

Next, please find out where your swift installation stores the data:
`grep -r devices /etc/swift` will give you one or more directories - e.g.
on my system it is:
/etc/swift/container-server/3.conf:devices = /srv/3/node
/etc/swift/container-server/2.conf:devices = /srv/2/node
/etc/swift/container-server/4.conf:devices = /srv/4/node
/etc/swift/container-server/1.conf:devices = /srv/1/node
/etc/swift/object-server/3.conf:devices = /srv/3/node
/etc/swift/object-server/2.conf:devices = /srv/2/node
/etc/swift/object-server/4.conf:devices = /srv/4/node
/etc/swift/object-server/1.conf:devices = /srv/1/node
/etc/swift/account-server/3.conf:devices = /srv/3/node
/etc/swift/account-server/2.conf:devices = /srv/2/node
/etc/swift/account-server/4.conf:devices = /srv/4/node
/etc/swift/account-server/1.conf:devices = /srv/1/node

Next look into the different tmp files of the different disks
2. Do you see a 4.5 G file in tmp? If so please indicate what files did you
find and where.
(on my system I would be looking at /srv/*/node/*/tmp)

3. What is your disk configuration? Which disk serves as the swift device
for objects? How much disk space do you have available? You need 13.5GB to
serve a 4.5GB file with replication level of three.

See below.

This is alarming, can you check the log files to see what went on?
Could it be that your disk became full?

I cant get it why 4.5...
Maybe something went bad in one replica, but than if you have three, you
should have received an OK after the other two completed...
This is where I became really puzzled.

If the object is not listed in the container, this would have no affect.

I would search it in the tmp dirs (see above) first, given that Swift never
responded with 201 Created
