Re: ceph-osd/bluestore using page cache

Hey Brian,

The setting you're looking for is bluefs_buffered_io. This is very
much a YMMV setting, so it's best to test with both modes, but I
usually recommend turning it off for all but omap-intensive workloads
(e.g. RGW index) due to it causing writes to tend to be split up into
smaller pieces.

It's been a long time since I've thought about this setting, so even
though it might be toggleable live, I'm not sure how much I would
trust turning it off on a live OSD; we usually set it in local conf
and then restart OSDs to gain the new setting.
