Description

Recently we've seen a report that when performing direct io sequential write tests against raw RBD volumes, RBD cache does not seem to be used properly and performance is low. When a file system is put on the volume, direct IO writes to a file on that volume are 6-10 times faster and more in-line with what we'd expect with RBD cache. There is concern that applications which do direct IO writes directly to block devices may not benefit from RBD cache.
