Hi David, You're right, now I see adding --run-name "" will clean all benchmark data from specified namespace, so you can run command only once. rados -p <poolname> -N <namespace> cleanup --prefix "" --run-name "" Regards, Igor. -----Original Message----- From: David Zafman [mailto:dzafman@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 3:46 AM To: Podoski, Igor; Deneau, Tom; Dałek, Piotr; ceph-devel Subject: Re: deleting objects from a pool If you have rados bench data around, you'll need to run cleanup a second time because the first time the "benchmark_last_metadata" object will be consulted to find what objects to remove. Also, using cleanup this way will only remove objects from the default namespace unless a namespace is specified with the -N option. rados -p <poolname> -N <namespace> cleanup --prefix "" David On 6/24/15 11:06 PM, Podoski, Igor wrote: > Hi, > > It appears, that cleanup can be used as a purge: > > rados -p <poolname> cleanup --prefix "" > > Regards, > Igor. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Deneau, Tom > Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2015 10:22 PM > To: Dałek, Piotr; ceph-devel > Subject: RE: deleting objects from a pool > > I've noticed that deleting objects from a basic k=2 m=1 erasure pool is much much slower than deleting a similar number of objects from a replicated size 3 pool (so the same number of files to be deleted). It looked like the ec pool object deletion was almost 20x slower.
