Hello guys, 

Was wondering if anyone uses or done some testing with using bcache or 
enhanceio caching in front of ceph osds? 

I've got a small cluster of 2 osd servers, 16 osds in total and 4 ssds for 
journals. I've recently purchased four additional ssds to be used for ceph 
cache pool, but i've found performance of guest vms to be slower with the cache 
pool for many benchmarks. The write performance has slightly improved, but the 
read performance has suffered a lot (as much as 60% in some tests). 

Therefore, I am planning to scrap the cache pool (at least until it matures) 
and use either bcache or enhanceio instead. 

Thanks 

Andrei
