Each SwarmNFS export you specify presents the named objects that are stored within a Swarm bucket. For manageability, the exact objects that a client sees when connected to SwarmNFS is filtered, and virtual hierarchies are presented as much as possible.

Listing delay — Objects created in Swarm natively (not via SwarmNFS) can take up to 5 minutes plus the Search Feed's Batch Timeout to appear in SwarmNFS listings, because they must be indexed by Elasticsearch. For best listing performance, lower the search feed's Batch Timeout to 1 or 0 (recommended). Listing limit — How many entries are returned in a folder listing is limited to the value configured in Elasticsearch for "index.max_result_window". SwarmNFS will allow new files to be created even if the number would exceed "index.max_result_window", but, over time, the number of entries listed will fall back down to that configured maximum. See Configuring Elasticsearch. |
Named Object Listings
To present named object listings as if they were in a traditional file system, SwarmNFS creates a simulation: it translates each forward slash (/) in any object name into a traditional directory delimiter. SwarmNFS then presents a view of objects at the simulated directory level. For example, suppose these named objects exist in the bucket “AcmeBucket”:
