May I ask why you are even trying to map so many RBD devices? Do you need access to >230 all at the same time on each host?

Can't you map them when you need them and unmap them when they are no longer required?

I believe this is a result of how we used the kernel interfaces
(allocating a major device ID for each RBD volume), and some kernel
limits (only 8 bits for storing major device IDs, and some used for
other purposes). See http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/5048

I believe we have discussed not using a major device ID for each
mounted RBD volume, but I don't remember the details as they involved
kernel-fu beyond what I'm familiar with.

I'm testing how many rbds I can map on a single server.

I've created 10,000 rbds in the rbd pool, but I can only actually map
230.

Mapping the 230th one fails with:
rbd: add failed: (16) Device or resource busy

Is there a way to bump this up?
