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.

Some years ago when first switching to Bluestore, I could see that ceph-osd wasn't using the host page cache anymore. Some time later after a Ceph upgrade, I found that ceph-osd was now filling the page cache. I'm sorry I don't remember which upgrade that was. Currently I'm running pacific and reef clusters.
Should ceph-osd (Bluestore) be going through the page cache? Can ceph-osd be configured to go direct?
Thanks.
