Those are remnants from before librbd existed, they aren't used in qemu
anymore.

Thanks for CCing me, I missed it before.

You can specify the rbd object size in bytes via the cluster_size
option, e.g.

qemu-img convert -f qcow2 Trove---mysql-5.6---2015-07-16.qcow2 -O raw -o 
cluster_size=8388608 
rbd:openstack-00/8205d01a-874c-44c0-b114-1c03821fcc24:conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf

The code handling this is here:
