Description Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2015-11-02 19:38:51 UTC

Description of problem:
There is a bug in qemu which caused ceph.conf config properties to overwrite qemu command-line properties.

If you have "rbd cache = true" in ceph.conf, it will override "cache=none" in your qemu command-line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "rbd cache = true" in ceph.conf
2. Run qemu with RBD and "cache=none"

Actual results:
RBD admin socket will show caching is disabled

Expected results:
RBD admin socket should show caching is enabled

Additional info:
The qemu patches which fix this have been merged upstream. See https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg03078.html
