Hi Jason,
Thank you for your advice.
The no discard option works gread.It now takes 5min to format 5t rbd image in 
xfs and only seconds to format in ext4.
Is there any drawback to format rbd image with no discard option?
Thanks

Try running "mkfs.xfs -K" which disables discarding to see if that 
improves the mkfs speed. The librbd-based implementation encountered a 
similar issue before when certain OSs sent very small discard extents 
for very large disks.
