Description of problem: If Swift is backed by a raw disk, as opposed to a directory, the mount_check option in the DEFAULT section of /etc/swift/{account,container,object}-server.conf should be set to true, or bad things will happen[*] The mount_check swift option is set using the SwiftMountCheck parameter in the heat templates. I suggest we, based on the value of the SwiftRawDisks (see bug 1368218 for details), set a reasonable default for the SwiftMountCheck parameter Additional info: [*] If one is using a raw disk for backing swift, and the SwiftMountCheck is set to false, if there is a disk failure on one of the nodes, creating containers will occasionally return an error code (503) to the end user. To further complicate things, even though 503 is returned, the container will still be created, even though the error was returned.
Change is present in openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-6.0.0-0.20170130212245.el7ost (but it was already in tripleo-heat-templates-6.0.0.0b3.dev317)
