Kernel on the client. I can't easily change the kernel on the OSD's although if
you think it will make a big difference I can arrange it.

I didn't explicitly set any, so I guess these are the defaults:
xfs (rw,noatime,attr2,delaylog,inode64,noquota)

Ah. It's the --no-cleanup that explains why my pervious seq tests didn't work!
Total time run: 300.430516
Total writes made: 26726
Write size: 4096
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 0.347
Stddev Bandwidth: 0.322983
Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 1.34375
Min bandwidth (MB/sec): 0
Average Latency: 0.719337
Stddev Latency: 0.985265
Max latency: 7.2241
Min latency: 0.018218
But then it just hung and I had to hit ctrl-c
What is the unit of measure for latency and for write size?

not sure what that's about...

What is rbd cache? I've seen it mentioned but haven't found documentation for
it anywhere...
My goal is 4 OSD's, each on separate machines, with 1 drive in each for a
start, but I want to see performance of at least the same order of magnitude as
the theoretical maximum on my hardware before I think about replacing my
existing setup.
Thanks
