It's expected but not desired: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/21402 The memory usage tracking is off by a constant factor. I'd suggest just lowering the limit so it's about where it should be for your system. -- Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
