-# Run @keep-balance@ with command line options @-commit-pulls=false -commit-trash=true@. For example, use @sudo systemctl edit keep-balance@ to override the default command line: <notextile><pre><code>[Service]
-ExecStart=
-ExecStart=/usr/bin/keep-balance -commit-pulls=false -commit-trash=true</code></pre></notextile> ...and then start the service using @sudo systemctl start keep-balance@. Note that if you do not use @-commit-pulls=false@ here, keep-balance will also start copying data from the target volume to other volumes, which can slow down garbage collection progress.
-# Garbage collection should now proceed faster on the target volume. Monitor progress by watching @keep-balance@ logs and metrics. When garbage collection is complete, keep-balance logs will show an empty changeset: <notextile><pre><code>zzzzz-bi6l4-0123456789abcdef (keep0.zzzzz.arvadosapi.com:25107, disk): ChangeSet{Pulls:0, Trashes:0}</code></pre></notextile>
-# Revert @BlobTrashLifetime@ to its previous value (or the default value, @336h@) and set @UnsafeDelete: false@ on the target volume.
-# Optionally, revert to @ReadOnly: false@ and @AllowTrashWhileReadOnly: false@ on the target volume and/or set @ReadOnly: true@ and @AllowTrashWhileReadOnly: true@ on the new volume, depending on where you intend to store new data in future. If the target volume has @PrefixLength: 0@ and the new volume has @PrefixLength: 3@, you can skip this step: new data will be stored on the new volume, some existing data will be moved automatically to other volumes, and some will be left on the target volume as long as it's needed.
-# Revert the @-commit-pulls=false@ change to the @keep-balance@ startup script, and restart @keep-balance@.
+# Start the @keep-balance@ service.
+# Objects will be deleted immediately instead of being first copied to trash on the S3 volume, which should significantly speed up cleanup of trashed objects. Monitor progress by watching @keep-balance@ logs and metrics.

+# If you want to resume writing new data to the target volume, revert to @ReadOnly: false@ and @AllowTrashWhenReadOnly: false@ on the target volume.
+# If you want to stop writing new data to the newly created volume, set @ReadOnly: true@ and @AllowTrashWhenReadOnly: true@ on the new volume.
