That helps a little bit, but overall the process would take years at this rate:
# for i in {1..3600}; do ceph df -f json-pretty |grep -A7 '".rgw.buckets"' |grep objects; sleep 60; done "objects": 1660775838 "objects": 1660775733 "objects": 1660775548 "objects": 1660774825 "objects": 1660774790 "objects": 1660774735 This is on a hammer cluster. Would upgrading to Jewel or Luminous speed up this process at all?

I think the default number of gc objects is just inadequate for your needs. You can try manually running 'radosgw-admin gc process' concurrently (for the start 2 or 3 processes), see if it makes any dent there. I think one of the problem is that the gc omaps grew so much that operations on them are too slow.

Luckily, we had the ability to create a new cluster and move all the data that wasn't part of the POC which created our problem. One of the things we ran into was the .rgw.gc pool became too large to handle drive failures without taking down the cluster. We eventually had to move that pool to SSDs just to get the cluster healthy. It was not obvious it was getting large though, because this is what it looked like in the 'ceph df' output: NAME ID USED %USED MAX AVAIL OBJECTS .rgw.gc 17 0 0 235G 2647 However, if you look at the SSDs we used (repurposed journal SSDs to get out of the disaster) in 'ceph osd df' you can see quite a bit of data is being used: 410 0.20000 1.00000 181G 23090M 158G 12.44 0.18 411 0.20000 1.00000 181G 29105M 152G 15.68 0.22 412 0.20000 1.00000 181G 110G 72223M 61.08 0.86 413 0.20000 1.00000 181G 42964M 139G 23.15 0.33 414 0.20000 1.00000 181G 33530M 148G 18.07 0.26 415 0.20000 1.00000 181G 38420M 143G 20.70 0.29 416 0.20000 1.00000 181G 92215M 93355M 49.69 0.70 417 0.20000 1.00000 181G 64730M 118G 34.88 0.49 418 0.20000 1.00000 181G 61353M 121G 33.06 0.47 419 0.20000 1.00000 181G 77168M 105G 41.58 0.59 That's ~560G of omap data for the .rgw.gc pool that isn't being reported in 'ceph df'. Right now the cluster is still around while we wait to verify the new cluster isn't missing anything. So if there is anything the RGW developers would like to try on it to speed up the gc process, we should be able to do that.

Can you explain what each setting value means? I believe I understand min wait, that's just how long to wait before allowing the object to be cleaned up. gc max objs is how many will be cleaned up during each period? gc processor period is how often it will kick off gc to clean things up? And gc processor max time is the longest the process can run after the period starts? Is that about right for that? I read somewhere saying that prime numbers are optimal for gc max objs. Do you know why that is? I notice you're using one there. What is lc max objs? I couldn't find a reference for that setting. Additionally, do you know if the radosgw-admin gc list is ever cleaned up, or is it an ever growing list? I got up to 3.6 Billion objects in the list before I killed the gc list command.

The biggest cluster has over 1 billion objects in its gc list (the command is still running, it just recently passed by the 1B mark). Does anyone have any guidance on what to do to optimize the gc settings to hopefully/eventually catch up on this as well as stay caught up once we are? I'm not expecting an overnight fix, but something that could feasibly be caught up within 6 months would be wonderful.

That should free up about 30% of our cluster used space, but in the last week we haven't seen nearly a fraction of that free up yet. I left the cluster with this running over the weekend to try to help `radosgw-admin --rgw-realm=local gc process`, but it didn't seem to put a dent into it. Our regular ingestion is faster than how fast the garbage collection is cleaning stuff up, but our regular ingestion is less than 2% growth at it's maximum. As of yesterday our gc list was over 350GB when dumped into a file (I had to stop it as the disk I was redirecting the output to was almost full). In the future I will use the --bypass-gc option to avoid the cleanup, but is there a way to speed up the gc once you're in this position? There were about 8M objects that were deleted from this bucket. I've come across a few references to the rgw-gc settings in the config, but nothing that explained the times well enough for me to feel comfortable doing anything with them.

So far I've been removing the buckets like this: printf %s\\n bucket{1..6000} | xargs -I{} -n 1 -P 32 radosgw-admin bucket rm --bucket={} --purge-objects However, the disk usage doesn't seem to be getting reduced at the same rate the objects are being removed. From what I can tell a large number of the objects are waiting for garbage collection. When I first read the docs it sounded like the garbage collector would only remove 32 objects every hour, but after looking through the logs I'm seeing about 55,000 objects removed every hour. That's about 1.3 million a day, so at this rate it'll take a couple years to clean up the rest! For comparison, the purge-objects command above is removing (but not GC'ing) about 30 million objects a day, so a much more manageable 33 days to finish. I've done some digging and it appears like I should be changing these configuration options: rgw gc max objs (default: 32) rgw gc obj min wait (default: 7200) rgw gc processor max time (default: 3600) rgw gc processor period (default: 3600) A few questions I have though are: Should 'rgw gc processor max time' and 'rgw gc processor period' always be set to the same value? Which would be better, increasing 'rgw gc max objs' to something like 1024, or reducing the 'rgw gc processor' times to something like 60 seconds? Any other guidance on the best way to adjust these values?
