Hi Andrei, These are good questions. We have another cluster with filestore and bcache but for this particular one I was interested in testing out bluestore. So I have used bluestore both with and without bcache. For my synthetic load on the vm's I'm using this fio command: fio --randrepeat=1 --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --gtod_reduce=1 --name=test --filename=test --bs=4k --iodepth=64 --size=4G --readwrite=randwrite --rate_iops=50 Currently on bluestore with my synthetic load I'm getting 7% hit ratio (cat /sys/block/bcache*/bcache/stats_total/cache_hit_ratio) On our filestore cluster with ~700 vm's of varied workload we're geting about 30-35% hit ratio. In the hourly hit ratio I have as high as 50% on some osd's in our filestore cluster. Only 25% on my synthetic load on bluestore so far, but I hadn't actually been checking this stat until now. I hope that helps.
