Comment 5 for bug 1032619

Please try to list the objects of container along with time stamp. May be it can give clear picture if it is uploading all files or just listing the objects which are there in directory.

A I ran a same test and found only latest changed files are getting uploaded.

Also please check I have used python-client of different version. My suggestion in this post to cross check one more time with time stamp with your packages.

I have listed the packages list too which are used by me to do this test.

# time swift -v -A http://x.x.x.76:35357/v3 upload -c container2 test-upload-swift/
