Adding that all of my ceph components are version:
10.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

Openstack is Mitaka on Ubuntu 16.04x. Manila file share is 1:2.0.0-0ubuntu1

My scenario is that I have a 3-node ceph cluster running openstack mitaka. Each 
node has 256gb ram, 14tb raid 5 array. I have 30 VMs running in openstack; all 
are mounted to the Manila file share using cephfs native kernel client driver. 
Each VM user has put 10-20 gb of files on the share, but most of this is 
back-up, so IO requirement is very low. However, I initially tried using 
ceph-fuse but performance latency was poor. Moving to kernel client driver for 
mounting the share has improved performance greatly. However, I am getting the 
cache pressure issue.

Can someone help me with the math to properly size the mds cache? How do I know 
if the cache size is too small (I think very few files in-use at any given 
time) versus the clients are broken and not releasing cache properly?

Thank you!
