Does the new obox plugin support any of the open source object storage systems

so.
Glusterfs isn't really object storage (unless they've changed since I last
looked at them), and it already more or less works with Dovecot using the
existing mailbox formats. Except last I heard it still caused index file
corruption.
Openstack Swift support is coming. There's a half-working version of it
already, would need just a day or two to finish it up.
I haven't looked at Ceph closely yet, but it would be nice to support it as
well.
obox can also be used with a regular POSIX filesystem, although it loses the prefetching
capabilities then. So it could be used with e.g. Glusterfs or NFS to provide an efficient
local cache. I've also thought about trying out if prefetching could be done by creating
new "diskio" processes with a ton of threads doing the actual disk I/O.
Timo, Riak CS is S3 compatible. Just curious if you have tested with
Riak CS (especially the multi-data center implementation).
