[Owncloud] Use external Storage only

[Henning Schuster]

Thanks for your answer!

I have thought about mounting a network share to ownCloud's data directory. And I will probably do that in the beginning. Long term I want to use OpenSwift as my storage back end. OpenSwift is not designed to be mounted (yes there is a way to mount OpenSwift storage using CloudFuse but it seems to be far from ideal).

So if there is an "official" way to use OpenSwift to replace ownCloud's data directory, I would be interested.

Cheers,
Henning
