Code Issues Proposed changes

directory /var/cache/swift /srv/node should be created.

Browse Source 
For multiple node swift cluster setup, these directories should be
created in the setup steps. Otherwise, when start up storage servers
there will be errors. The error messages won't tell if it is because
of missing the directory.
