Use Case 1: Large number of objects per bucket are required.

• The admin can configure a default pool without using the fs_sharing option.

• The file system is not shared across buckets. A bucket can have large number of objects. The choice of file system sharing limits the number of buckets created.

Use Case 2: Admin needs large number of buckets but does not expect large number of objects per bucket.

• The admin can create a group in its authentication server and configure this group in Object Store using the objectaccess> group set command.

• The grouping provides options like choosing the disk pool to use, file system type, file system sharing, file system size, other file system options.

• The admin can use the fs_sharing option to configure the Object Store server to share a file system across all buckets that are created by a user of that particular group.

• The file system sharing allows the Object Store server to create a large number of buckets but limits the total number of objects present across the bucket.

Use Case 3: Admin wants to control the file system used for a bucket.

• The admin has to pre-create the required file system using the storage> fs commands.

• The admin can use the objectaccess> map command to map a directory of the existing file system as a bucket for a particular user.
