You could use rbd info <volume_name> to see the block_name_prefix, the object name consist like <block_name_prefix>.<sequence_number>, so for example, rb.0.ff53.3d1b58ba.00000000e6ad should be the <e6ad>th object of the volume with block_name_prefix rb.0.ff53.3d1b58ba. $ rbd info huge rbd image 'huge': size 1024 TB in 268435456 objects order 22 (4096 kB objects) block_name_prefix: rb.0.8a14.2ae8944a format: 1 -----Original Message----- From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edwin Peer Sent: Monday, January 5, 2015 3:55 AM To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: rbd resize (shrink) taking forever and a day Also, which rbd objects are of interest? <snip> ganymede ~ # rados -p client-disk-img0 ls | wc -l 1672636 </snip> And, all of them have cryptic names like: rb.0.ff53.3d1b58ba.00000000e6ad rb.0.6d386.1d545c4d.000000011461 rb.0.50703.3804823e.000000001c28 rb.0.1073e.3d1b58ba.00000000b715 rb.0.1d76.2ae8944a.00000000022d which seem to bear no resemblance to the actual image names that the rbd command line tools understands?
