I see there's a new commit to speed up an 'rbd rm':

http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/repository/revisions/40956410169709c32a282d9b872cb5f618a48926

Is it safe to cherry-pick this commit on top of 0.56.6 (or, if not, v0.61.2) to speed up the remove?

You'll need 537386d906b8c0e395433461dcb03a82eb33f34f as well. It should
apply cleanly to 0.61.2, and probably 0.56.6 too.

Thanks. I'll see how I go, I may just leave the 'rm' running all
weekend rather than futzing around recompiling ceph and getting
off the mainline track.

If you're mainly interested in getting rid of the accidentally 1.5PB
image, you can just delete the header (and id object if it's format 2)
and then 'rbd rm' will just remove it from the rbd_directory index, and
not try to delete all the non-existent data objects.

Yes, that's my main interest. Sorry, I haven't yet delved far
into the details of how the rbd stuff hangs together: can you
give me a hint or point me towards any docs regarding what
"delete the header (and id object" would look like?

For a format 2 image, 'rbd info imagename' will show a block_prefix like 'rbd_data.101574b0dc51'.

The random suffix after the '.' is the id of the image.
For format 2, the header is named after this id, so you'd do:

rados -p poolname rm rbd_header.101574b0dc51

For format 1 images, the header object is named after the image name, like 'imagename.rbd'.

After removing the header object manually, rbd rm will clean up the
rest.
