Hi Arne,

thanks for your answer. I have to admit i screwed it up myself: i built 
a backup system this week and mixed up Cinder versions, in version 
11.0.1 the problem seems to be definitely fixed, no need for manual 
intervention.

In Cinder 11.0.0 we could successfully apply the fix mentioned in https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/110709/ocata-cinder-volume-causes-high-cpu-load-ceph-backend/. In Cinder 11.0.1 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cinder/volume/drivers/rbd.py changed, but the high CPU load problem reappeared. I tried changing "report_dynamic_total_capacity" (mentioned in the changelog), but it didn't make a difference. Has anyone seen/fixed this?
