Yes, the override is applied (correctly) based upon your QEMU cache settings. However, it then reads your configuration file and re-applies the "rbd_cache" setting based upon what is in the file (if it exists). So in the case where a configuration file has "rbd cache = true", the override of "rbd cache = false" derived from your QEMU cache setting would get wiped out. The long term solution would be to, as Josh noted, switch the order (so long as there wasn't a use-case for applying values in this order). In the short-term, you can remove the "rbd cache" setting from your ceph.conf so that QEMU controls it (i.e. it cannot get overridden when reading the configuration file) or use a different ceph.conf for a drive which requires different cache settings from the default configuration's settings.
