ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

PDF

File system enabled

Swift buckets can also be file system (FS) enabled so that files written using the Swift protocol can be read using file protocols, such as NFS and HDFS, and vice-versa.

Enabling FS access

You can enable file system access using the x-emc-file-system-access-enabled header when creating a bucket using the Swift protocol. File system access can also be enabled when creating a bucket from the ECS Portal (using the ECS Management REST API).

Cross-head support for FS

Cross-head support refers to accessing objects written using one protocol using a different, ECS-supported protocol. Objects written using the Swift head can be read and written using NFS and HDFS file system protocols.

An important aspects of cross-head support is how object/file permissions translate between protocols and, in the case of file system access, how user and group concepts translate between object and file protocols.

You can find more information on the cross-head support with file systems in the ECS Administration Guide which is available from the https://www.dell.com/support/.
