Asked by Tushar Patil

I couldn't find object.ring.gz, container.ring.gz and account.ring.gz in the entire source code.
Can someone please let me know where I can find these files?
I want to understand the contents of these files.

Thanks.

The ring files are generated by the swift-ring-builder command line tool. Running the tool without any arguments will give you display a help file. An example of building the ring can be found in the Swift All in One instructions at http://swift.openstack.org/development_saio.html.
