Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • BZ1292845
  • Cleaning up docker space
  • Deleting a large number of images and they are deleted successfully from etcd but not from registry storage
  • Manually deleting an image with oc delete image <sha256:image-id> only removes the image from etcd, but not from the registry’s storage."
  • What is the best way to clean up images and resources.
  • When examining our docker storage pool via the vgs or vgdisplay commands, it shows no space available:
  • Running below commands did not free up any space.
oc adm prune deployments --keep-complete=5 --confirm
oc adm prune builds --orphans --keep-failed=1 -keep-complete=5 --confirm
oc adm prune images --keep-tag-revisions=3 --keep-younger-than=400m --confirm
  • Can not figure out how to clean up the actual imagefs.
  • Docker space (docker vg) is constantly building up and event the cleanup playbook does not fix it.

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.6
