Yes. For instance:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/ceph/*/metrics
item                               total
------------------------------------------
opened files  / total inodes       0 / 4

I'm proposing that Luis add new lines for "copy" to go along with the
"read" and "write" ones. The "total" counter should give you a count of
the number of operations.
