Re: [RFC PATCH] ceph: add new "nopagecache" option

No, I've only used this for local testing so far. Perhaps you can
handhold me through adding such a patch to teuthology for it?

Note that this _really_ slows down I/O, especially if you're doing a lot
of small reads or writes, so it may not be appropriate for throughput-
heavy testing.
