Hello,

I think the documentation for multi backend could use some
improvement. Once you configure Riak to use the "multi" storage
backend, you must then *name* backends to be used by your bucket
types:

Here is a configuration that you can use, that would create two
backends, one using the memory backend that is *named*
"my_memory_backend", and one using the leveldb backend that is named
"my_leveldb_backend":

In riak.conf:

storage_backend = multi
multi_backend.my_memory_backend.storage_backend = memory
multi_backend.my_leveldb_backend.storage_backend = leveldb

The following is an example of setting a leveldb-specific setting for
the "my_leveldb_backend" named backend:

multi_backend.my_leveldb_backend.leveldb.maximum_memory.percent = 70

Then, you associate your "os_cache" bucket type with
"my_memory_backend" this way:

riak-admin bucket-type create os_cache '{"props": {"write_once":
true,"backend":"my_memory_backend","n_val":2,"r":1,"w":1,"dw":1}}'
riak-admin bucket-type activate os_cache

Please let me know if this resolves your issue. You may have to remove
the content's of Riak's data and ring directories to overwrite your
old settings.

I have filed an issue in GitHub to improve the documentation for
multi-backend: https://github.com/basho/basho_docs/issues/2123
