And better yet would be if there was a blacklist of Lustre and Ceph xattr type/keys that will never have shared attrs, so that mbcache is not used for those xattrs automatically, *without* using a mount option. Can someone at least start help creating that list? But yeah, a complete deletion of mbcache is a non-starter.
