Thanks, that’s it exactly. But I think that’s really too much work for now, that’s why I really would like to see a quick-win by using the local RBD cache for now - that would suffice for most workloads (not too many people run big databases on CEPH now, those who do must be aware of this).

Hi, I have a full-ssd cluster on my hands, currently running Dumpling, with plans to upgrade soon, and Openstack with RBD on top of that. While I am overall quite happy with the performance (scales well accross clients), there is one area where it really fails bad - big database workloads.
