That functionality is left up to a client. For example, you could use FUSE to spoof swift as a filesystem or you could use a client like Cyberduck or even write your own. Last week someone on this mailing list talked about adding webDAV support to swift.
All of these "work" in that they present swift to the user as a filesystem. However, swift doesn't follow POSIX semantics and therefore any attempt to force swift into such a model will have drawbacks (mostly with regards to performance). --John On Jan 23, 2012, at 4:47 AM, Khaled Ben Bahri wrote: > Thanks for your answer, > > For the first question I meant, tha i wish to mount a shared forlder that > uses swift for storage > > Best Regards > Khaled > > Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:59:56 -0600 > From: florian.hi...@gmail.com > To: openstack@lists.launchpad.net > Subject: Re: [Openstack] Swift supported file system > > On Friday, January 20, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Khaled Ben Bahri wrote: > Hi, > > Can any one please tell me if we can mount and use for openstack swift a > mounted shared folder as a storage device > > Do you mean use shared storage as the storage backend for swift?
