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 ""

Hi,

It appears, that cleanup can be used as a purge:

rados -p <poolname> cleanup  --prefix ""

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.  Is there a lot more work to be done to 
delete an ec pool object?

I have benchmarking situations where I want to leave a pool around
but delete a lot of objects from the pool.  Is there any really fast
way to do
that?
I noticed rados rmpool is fast but I don't want to remove the pool.

I have been spawning multiple threads, each deleting a subset of the
objects
(which I believe is what rados bench write does) but even that can
be very slow.
For now, apart from "rados -p <poolname> cleanup" (which doesn't purge
the pool, but merely removes objects written during last benchmark
run), the only option is by brute force:

for i in $(rados -p <poolname> ls); do (rados -p <poolname> rm $i
&>/dev/null &); done;

There's no "purge pool" command in rados -- not yet, at least. I was
thinking about one, but never really had time to implement one.

With best regards / Pozdrawiam
