Hey there,

A very strong +1 on there needing to be some way to make this work
with older Ceph releases.
Ceph Reef isn't out yet and we're in July 2023, so I'd really like not
having to wait until Ceph Squid in mid 2024 to be able to make use of
this!

Some kind of mount option, module option or the like would all be fine for this.
