Thanks Sage ! But, I think this is a serious issue, every time we will purge the cluster all the node network will be down :-( Basically, it should not delete any component on which non-ceph components are dependent. We need this purge-lite kind of stuff.

Purge could skip the libraries that may have other dependencies, but then it's a purge-lite. Honestly I thought it skipped them for that reason but we probably changed it at some point because it (also confusingly) wouldn't remove librados etc... sage ________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
