Given that the underline network stack for RBD IO is provided by the linux kenerl instead, does this option bear any relevance for rbd volume performance inside guest VM? there should be something like "-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0" in reference to the id= for the drive-specification. Furthermore to really check rbd_cache there is s/t like: rbd_cache=true:rbd_cache_size=33554432:rbd_cache_max_dirty=16777216:rbd_cache_target_dirty=8388608 missing in the ":"-list, perhaps after :none:rbd_cache=true:rbd_cache_size=33554432:rbd_cache_max_dirty=16777216:rbd_cache_target_dirty=8388608 cache=writeback is necessary, too. No idea, though, how to teach openstack to use these parameters, sorry.
