4.1. Object Storage Service Requirements
The following items are requirements for installing the Object Storage service:
- Supported Filesystems
- The Object Storage service stores objects in filesystems. Currently,
XFSandext4are supported. Your filesystem must be mounted with Extended Attributes (xattr) enabled.It is recommended that you useXFS. Configure this in/etc/fstab:Example 4.1. Sample /etc/fstab Entry for One XFS Storage Disk
/dev/sdb1 /srv/node/d1 xfs inode64,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
Note
Extended Attributes are already enabled onXFSby default. As such, you do not need to specifyuser_xattrin your/etc/fstabentry. - Acceptable Mountpoints
- The Object Storage service expects devices to be mounted at
/srv/node/.
