Hi David, I can see from your BOSH specs that you're using Riak 1.4.7 and Riak CS 1.4.4. I'd like to first recommend upgrading to Riak 1.4.10 and Riak CS 1.5.0 as both versions have had important bug fixes. CS 1.5.0 specifically has had fixes related to GC.
I'll dig further into your repo but I thought I'd start by pointing out the GC docs here: http://docs.basho.com/riakcs/latest/cookbooks/garbage-collection/ -- Luke Bakken CSE lbak...@basho.com On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 10:34 AM, David Sabeti <dsab...@pivotal.io> wrote: > Hi all, > > Our team at Cloud Foundry is building a RiakCS service for CF users and one > of our deployments is seeing an issue with deleting objects from the > blobstore. > > We were seeing that our disk usage was approaching 100%, so we deleted some > of the stale objects in the blobstore using s3cmd.
