Description Vidushi Mishra 2025-08-11 18:08:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

In RHCS-8.1z2, the GC is failing to delete the multipart object parts after the head object is removed. Only the head object is deleted, while the associated multipart and shadow objects remain in the bucket’s data pool.

The GC list remains empty, and gc process does not remove the leftover parts.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ceph version 19.2.1-242.el9cp 

How reproducible:
2/2


# s3cmd mb s3://testbucket
# s3cmd put file20m s3://testbucket
# s3cmd rm s3://testbucket/file20m
# s3cmd ls s3://testbucket (Output, No objects listed.)
# rados ls -p <zone>.rgw.buckets.data | grep file20m (Output, Multipart and shadow objects still present.)

List GC queue:
# radosgw-admin gc list --include-all (Output, [] (empty list)) 

Run GC manually:
radosgw-admin gc process --include-all
Output --> Leftover parts still present, GC queue still empty.


Actual results:
