Please try to list the objects of container along with time stamp. May be it can give clear picture if it is uploading all files or just listing the objects which are there in directory.
A I ran a same test and found only latest changed files are getting uploaded. Also please check I have used python-client of different version. My suggestion in this post to cross check one more time with time stamp with your packages. I have listed the packages list too which are used by me to do this test. # time swift -v -A http://x.x.x.76:35357/v3 upload -c container2 test-upload-swift/ test-upload-swift/test_file_02 test-upload-swift/test_file_01 test-upload-swift/object1 real 0m48.316s user 0m0.652s sys 0m0.120s # swift list -l container2 1198 2016-02-02 05:37:22 Desktop/BLOB_to_FILE.txt 0 2016-02-02 05:34:02 Desktop/Untitled Folder 344 2016-02-05 04:31:17 keystone_rcadmin 39 2016-02-10 07:06:10 object1 27 2016-02-10 07:06:11 object2 74 2016-02-10 07:08:25 object3 39 2016-02-10 15:54:02 test-upload-swift/object1 104857600 2016-02-10 15:54:02 test-upload-swift/test_file_01 104857600 2016-02-10 15:54:02 test-upload-swift/test_file_02 209716921 # touch test-upload-swift/object1 # time swift -v -A http://x.x.x.76:35357/v3 upload -c container2 test-upload-swift/ test-upload-swift/test_file_01 test-upload-swift/test_file_02 test-upload-swift/object1 real 0m1.265s user 0m0.597s sys 0m0.101s # swift list -l container2 1198 2016-02-02 05:37:22 Desktop/BLOB_to_FILE.txt 0 2016-02-02 05:34:02 Desktop/Untitled Folder 344 2016-02-05 04:31:17 keystone_rcadmin 39 2016-02-10 07:06:10 object1 27 2016-02-10 07:06:11 object2 74 2016-02-10 07:08:25 object3 39 2016-02-10 15:55:49 test-upload-swift/object1 104857600 2016-02-10 15:54:02 test-upload-swift/test_file_01 104857600 2016-02-10 15:54:02 test-upload-swift/test_file_02 209716921 # ls -ltr test-upload-swift/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104857600 Feb 10 10:53 test-upload-swift/test_file_02 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104857600 Feb 10 10:53 test-upload-swift/test_file_01 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39 Feb 10 10:55 test-upload-swift/object1 # rpm -qa | grep swift openstack-swift-plugin-swift3-1.7-4.el7.noarch openstack-swift-container-2.5.0-1.el7.noarch openstack-swift-proxy-2.5.0-1.el7.noarch python-swiftclient-2.6.0-1.el7.noarch openstack-swift-2.5.0-1.el7.noarch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032619 Title: Upload --change uploads everything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-swiftclient/+bug/1032619/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
