David,
Thanks for the quick reply.

My configuration is little different. The replication level is set to 1 (single copy). The ring database is stored in common share (so I need not copy it to all servers)
So do you mean the replicator service is responsible for object movement? (I have replicator service not running in my setup)
Does rebalancing of Ring DB will move my objects too in the devices? Or it will just mark the partitions to the new devices?

Regards,
Tushar

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
