Re: Re-balancing of RING does not level up my objects in old devices

 

You need the daemons running 24/7 not only when you change the ring :)
Specifically the replicators must be running to get the objects to their
eventual place (which may have changed by the ring rebalancing you had
performed).

(You also need to copy the ring to all you servers)

Hello,

I have a question related to balancing swift objects across devices added
to the ring.

I have Swift setup which initially created with 2 devices in it (weight
100) and partition power 12.
These devices now started filling up to its capacity (~90% of its size).
So now I added 2 new devices (weight 100) to the ring and performed
rebalance.
The ring shows me all new configurations with correct partitions mapped to
each device.

But even after running ring rebalance command I do not see my objects are
balanced (level up) to the newer devices.
(i.e. older devices still consume 90% of space, while new devices are
empty) So do I need to perform any additional action (run object updater
once) to achieve this?

Thanks,
Tushar
