Here is a quick-n-dirty script to calculate the number of zeroed 4K blocks in all your RADOS objects [1].  If you have a smaller or larger block size on your OSD FS, feel free to tweak the block size variable.  For each clone image within a pool, it will locate all associated RADOS objects, download the objects one at a time, and perform a scan for fully zeroed blocks.  It's not the most CPU efficient script, but it should get the job done.
