While continuing my saga with the rgw orphans and dozens of terabytes of wasted space I have used the rgw-orphan-list tool. after about 45 mins the tool has crashed ((( # time rgw-orphan-list .rgw.buckets Pool is ".rgw.buckets". Note: output files produced will be tagged with the current timestamp -- 202008241403. running 'rados ls' at Mon Aug 24 15:03:29 BST 2020 running 'radosgw-admin bucket radoslist' at Mon Aug 24 15:26:37 BST 2020 /usr/bin/rgw-orphan-list: line 64: 31745 Aborted (core dumped) radosgw-admin bucket radoslist > "$rgwadmin_out" 2> "$rgwadmin_err" An error was encountered while running 'radosgw-admin radoslist'. Aborting. Review file './radosgw-admin-202008241403.error' for details. *** *** WARNING: The results are incomplete.
