Uh, that's not quite what rgw_gc_max_objs mean. That param configures how the garbage control data objects and internal classes are sharded, and each grouping will only delete one object at a time. So it controls the parallelism, but not the total number of objects! Also, Yehuda says that changing this can be a bit dangerous because it currently needs to be consistent across any program doing or generating GC work. -Greg > > > > On Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Ben <b@benjackson.email> wrote: >> >> It is either a problem with CEPH, Civetweb or something else in our >> configuration. >> But deletes in user buckets is still leaving a high number of old shadow >> files.
