Hello list,

i map ~30 rbds  per xenserver
<https://github.com/vico-research-and-consulting/RBDSR> host by using
rbd-nbd to run virtual machines on these devices.

I have the following questions:

  * Is it possible to use rbd cache for rbd-nbd? I assume that this is
    true, but  the documentation does not make a clear statement about this.
    (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/(
  * If i configure caches like described at
    http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/, are there
    dedicated caches per rbd-nbd/krbd device or is there a only a single
    cache area.
    How can i identify the rbd cache with the tools provided by the
    operating system?
  * Can you provide some hints how to about adequate cache settings for
    a write intensive environment (70% write, 30% read)?
    Is it a good idea to specify a huge rbd cache of 1 GB with a max
    dirty age of 10 seconds?

Regards
Marc

Our system:

  * Luminous/12.2.5
  * Ubuntu 16.04
  * 5 OSD Nodes (24*8 TB HDD OSDs, 48*1TB SSD OSDS, Bluestore, 6Gb Cache
    per OSD)
  * Size per OSD, 192GB RAM, 56 HT CPUs)
  * 3 Mons (64 GB RAM, 200GB SSD, 4 visible CPUs)
  * 2 * 10 GBIT, SFP+, bonded xmit_hash_policy layer3+4
