Hi Burkhard, thanks a lot for the quick response.

I mean if the marker object in the cache pool stays (ie. due to an issue during deleting in the backing pool) why do I have 0-bytes in the backing pool and also have the "file not found" while stating / rm'ing on the backing pool? How do I cleanup the backing pool? > As a test you can try to evict all objects from the cache pool. This > should trigger the actual removal of pending objects. Hm, evicting our cache pool would take several hours if not even days - In the meantime the OpenStack would not be useable. Is there any way we could do that "asynchronously" without a complete downtime? Also, as the used space is constantly growing without, this would have to be done every few weeks?
