Hi Greg,

This one? https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/64646

Symptoms:
- CLONES are reported on 'rados df' while pool has no snapshots.
- 'rados lssnap -p <pool_name>' command shows no snapshots but some clones
are listed by 'rados listsnaps -p <pool_name> <object_name>' even sometimes
with no 'head' object.

@Trey, if this is the one --- make sure it is before running the command
--- running a 'ceph osd pool force-remove-snap <pool_name>' should put all
leaked clone objects back in the trim queue and the OSDs should get rid of
them.

Regards,
Frédéric.
