# Swift-On-File
Swift-on-File, formerly called Gluster-Swift, enables files and directories
created on a Posix filesystem (that supports xattrs) to be accessed as objects
via the Swift API.
# Swift-on-File
Swift-on-File, formerly called Gluster-Swift, is a Swift Object Server
implementation that enables objects created using the Swift API to be accessed
as files on a Posix filesystem.
The main difference from the default Swift Object Server is that Swift-on-File
stores objects following the same path hirearchy as that object's URL.
stores objects following the same path hierarchy as that object's URL.
On a vanilla openstack swift the object server will store the object following
the mapping given by the Ring and its final storage location and filename are
unknown to the user. In the case of Sof, the object will be stored in the
configured filesystem volume with the same directory structure as the object´s
URL.
For example: for an object with URL: https://swift.example.com/v1/acc/cont/obj,
the default Object Server will store the object following the mapping given by
the Ring and its final storage location and filename are unknown to the user.
In the case of SoF, the object will be stored in the configured Filesystem
volume with the same directory structure '_acc/cont/obj_'.
would be stored in the following way:
* Swift: /mnt/sdb1/2/node/sdb2/objects/981/f79/f566bd022b9285b05e665fd7b843bf79/1401254393.89313.data
* SoF: /mnt/gluster-object/acc/cont/obj
## Roadmap
Swift-On-File is in a transition period. The project was recently renamed from
