Hi Daniel, Riak CS uses multi by default. By default the manifests are stored in leveldb and the blobs/chunks are stored in bitcask. If you're looking to force everything to level you should remove multi and use level as the backend setting. As Luke noted elsewhere, this configuration hasn't been fully tested and is not supported.
Off the top of my head, take a look at the email Martin (?) sent about his modified level backend a few weeks ago for reasons why using level for data chunks may not be the best idea at this time.
