All RBD images use a backing RADOS object to facilitate mapping between the external image name and the internal image id. For v1 images this object would be named "<image name>.rbd" and for v2 images this object would be named "rbd_id.<image name>". You would need to find this deleted object first in order to start figuring out the internal image id. For example, if image "test" was a v1 RBD image in the pool rbd, you would run: # ceph osd map rbd test.rbd osdmap e9 pool 'rbd' (0) object 'rbd_id.test' -> pg 0.9a2f7478 (0.0) -> up ([0,2,1], p0) acting ([0,2,1], p0) In this example, the object would be placed in PG 0.0 on OSD 0, 2, and 1. Since this object still exists for me, I can locate it on the OSD disk: # find /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/current/0.0_head/ -name "test.rbd*" /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/current/0.0_head/test.rbd__head_9A2F7478__0 In your case, you would need to search for a deleted file substring matching your image name within the appropriate PG directory on the associated OSDs. If you can recover the v1 RBD header (e.g. test.rbd), you can dump its contents and extract the block name prefix. In my example, if I hexdump my v1 header object, I see: # hexdump -C /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/current/0.0_head/test.rbd__head_9A2F7478__0 00000000 3c 3c 3c 20 52 61 64 6f 73 20 42 6c 6f 63 6b 20 |<<< Rados Block | 00000010 44 65 76 69 63 65 20 49 6d 61 67 65 20 3e 3e 3e |Device Image >>>| 00000020 0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 72 62 2e 30 2e 31 30 31 |........rb.0.101| 00000030 30 2e 37 34 62 30 64 63 35 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 |0.74b0dc51......| 00000040 52 42 44 00 30 30 31 2e 30 30 35 00 16 00 00 00 |RBD.001.005.....| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000070 All the data blocks associated with this image will be named with a "rb.0.1010.74b0dc51." prefix followed by a 12 character, zero-padded, hexadecimal number representing the object offset within the image. For example, assuming the default 4MB object size, "rb.0.1010.74b0dc51.0000000000cf" would represent the offset 188MB through 192MB within the image. For each one of these object names, you would need to run the "ceph osd map" command to determine where these data blocks would have lived and then attempt to undelete them. Unfortunately, for v2 RBD images, this image name to image id mapping is stored in the LevelDB database within the OSDs and I don't know, offhand, how to attempt to recover deleted values from there.
